About this Event
Penn Pr*son Education and Reentry Initative and cinéSPEAK invite you to a screening of Daughters, a feature documentary co-directed by Natalie Rae and Angela Patton.
The screening will also serve as a fundraiser for Freedom Side School, a free elementary school for children directly impacted by incarceration.
Daughters 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. J*il. For most of the daughters, the dance will be the only time they will be able to touch or hug their fathers during sentences, some of which are as long as 20 years.
Audiences will have an opportunity to discuss the film and hear more about Freedom Side's work to support a new generation of freedom fighters. The event is free of charge but donations to support Freedom Side's work are strongly encouraged. Please give what you can, and donate to Freedom Side School by clicking here.
Special Thanks to our co-sponsors at University of Pennsylvania: Civic House, Graduate School of Education, Office of Social Equity and Community.
