With its Jan 22 world premiere at Sundance swiftly approaching, we’re elated to share that Angela Patton and Natalie Rae’s upcoming documentary “Daughters” has been selected to receive a grant of $25,000 from the non-profit organization and social rights advocate ! “Daughters” follows four young girls preparing for a special Daddy-Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers as part of a unique fatherhood program in a Washington, D.C. jail. Patton’s non-profit and the dance organizer, Girls For A Change, will also be awarded a $20,000 grant. This generous contribution will assist in establishing an education fund, youth development programs, and vital resources for children impacted by mass incarceration.
Subject Matter will host a public panel discussion at Sundance on Tuesday, January 23rd. The discussion will bring together the filmmakers behind Daughters and the leaders of Girls For A Change to discuss the film, the issues, and how inspired audiences can join them in building an education fund for the girls featured in the film.
