Netflix has unveiled the first trailer and poster for their upcoming documentary DAUGHTERS, which will launch on their platform on August 14th, 2024. The film world premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it won in the Audience Award: US Documentary category.

Daughters was directed by Natalie Rae and Angela Patton. The film follows four young girls as they prepare for a special Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers, as part of a unique fatherhood program in a Washington, D.C., jail.

Angela Patton has dedicated her life to the empowerment of Black girls. As the CEO of the nonprofit organization Girls for a Change, which works to close opportunity gaps and mold future leaders, Patton devotes her time and energy to developing initiatives that meet the unique needs of her community — like Date with Dad, a program that fosters father-daughter bonding for families separated by the carceral system. Fathers in the program take part in therapy sessions before the final event: a daddy-daughter dance in which the men trade their state-issued clothing for semiformal attire and reunite with their daughters for a sweet moment of familial closeness.
