WBUR reporter Simón Rios moderates a discussion with directors Angela Patton and Natalie Rae about their film "Daughters,” which follows four girls from the ages of five to 15, who prepare a special Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers as part of a unique fatherhood program in a Washington D.C. jail. The dance is the only opportunity these girls will have to hug their fathers during their sentences, many of which are up to 20 years.We’ll show clips from the film as the three discuss the rippling effects of the fathers’ absences and a generation of youth bearing the weight of mass incarceration.
This event is the keynote for Boston University’s Power of Narrative Conference.
