The way that the girl at the beginning measures when she's going to see her dad by the amount of rotations around the sun is profound. Most people would say next year or at the end of the year, etc, but she measured it by the Earth's rotations. It shows how uniquely she sees the world and I hope she never loses that perspective. Kind of blew me away a bit. Oh wow, I didn't expect my comment to get over 2k likes, thank you so much and I'm glad my comment resonated with you all, in that we can all marvel at the beautifully unique perspective of this little girl.

My father has been incarcerated since I was 2. I visited him when I was in the 5th grade … and the pain I felt led me to decide that day I would never visit him again. I an 31 years old. He has reached out numerous times over the years but anger and overwhelming emotions kept me from being willing to contact him. This documentary led me to do the work I ran from for years. Tonight, with tears in my eyes… I’ll be writing my very first letter to my Dad.

[@VClary]

Hope your journey finds the answers and peace you both need ❤

[@Kulchagospel]

I am now going to pray for you and your Dad. I know forgiveness is hard. But it is right. And the positive energy from forgiveness surely outweighs the negative energy of unforgiveness. Kudos to your Dad for not giving up on you. He continued to reach out to you knowing how you felt. I pray that the letter you write him leads to you guys physically embracing each other with total love for each other. He has done his time. He paid for his mistakes. Take your time. Move slow. You should have a therapist AND a Pastor as you embark on a new relationship with him. Take care of your mental, emotional and spiritual self because this is big. May God bless the both of you in Jesus Name. 🙏🏾❤️

[@FlyLikeDove]

My dad chose his own path out of this world when I was 5. I have always considered myself fortunate in that I knew where he was, even if I missed the experience of having him in my life. I feel like kids whose dads are locked away or absent have it far worse - that sense of longing for a parent who you can't hug, can't see, and/or can't rely on has to be exponentially more painful to cope with for a child. Praying for all these families who shared their experiences with the world. Looking forward to this film! And yep I'll be crying my eyes out!

[@adriannamatos865]

Wow. I just finished watching this documentary and I am a sobbing weeping mess. What a tragically beautiful film this was. Those sweet babies were so happy to see their dads again face to face.

[@victoriaburroughs8399]

True fatherhood, especially black fatherhood, is such an important cornerstone in a child’s life that has slowly become eroded in this modern society. These men have made their mistakes, but now they’re being given the chance to see their daughters and impress upon them something more than daddy issues and generational truama. Speaking as a woman who’s father lived less than 2 hours away but couldn’t be bothered to visit or even talk to me after the age of 10, the wound that a fathers absence leaves in your heart and soul is something that will hurt the rest of your life. I’m glad these men are breaking the cycle.

[@cariaus3758]

Just finished watching this on Netflix and it's truly moving. Jails should encourage more visits like the dance. It truly shows that inmates are more likely to stay out of jail with these programs & touch visitations. I cried through the whole movie thinking of my daughter. Although her father is not in jail, he has no contact with her which is worse because he has no excuse for not being in her life. Daddy's play a big role in how young girls develop, please don't be absent from their lives.

@@christina678 Well, some of us don't have a choice when the father chooses not to be present in our childs life. My daughter had plenty of men role models with my father and brothers showing her the love and respect of a man. I chose not to have another partner until she was grown, you also never know what their intentions are when getting involved with a single mother. And btw I don't really call myself a "single mother" because I was married to her dad and he chose to leave us to chase his dreams, therefore I'm a "sole parent"

[@kanikacousins2644]

This docu is an emotional masterpiece. Profound and necessary. Some of the fathers hadn’t seen their daughter in 10 years. As the door opened - tears started flowing on both sides. It’s such a reminder about the needs of children and I can’t help but think of the children of some same sex parents that have decided for the child “a father isn’t necessary or any male will do”….Not at all the case. These little ladies recognized their fathers, craved their touch and sound of their voice. 95% of the men who participate in this dance never return to prison (mind blowing. I was a tissue hoarding, eye wiping, knot in the throat having, elated and anticipatory mess the whole time! Bravo to the lady who started this! Bravo to the first warden that allowed it! And Bravo to the mothers who put their feelings aside and got out the way…. Chef’s Kiss all around

[@lokeylady25]

Watching this made me realize how at 42 I’m still broken and affected by my father’s absence in my life. My father was not/ is not incarcerated, just chose not to have a relationship with me. When I watched this, I cried almost the whole way through. It struck a cord in me just feeling the pain of their absence. The anger, the questions they asked, like ARE YOU GOING TO CHANGE, and the one girl who said she wasn’t going to she’d not another tear if her dad abandoned her again. Seeing the life coach teach these men the importance of fatherhood just touched me and made me wish he could’ve talked to my dad. This is a great watch and I really wish fathers, especially our black men/fathers would take the time to watch this. I don’t believe they understand the impact their absence/ presence have on our lives and how it helps to shape us as women. I immediately prayed after watching asking God for healing and peace in my own life because I didn’t realize how I was still affected. This was powerful and yes little Aubrey, she’s wise beyond her years. Even the way she talked to her dad before she left the prison saying I don’t want to let you go, but we going to take 3 breaths and say see you later, don’t say bye because bye means forever.😩😩😩😩 omg this took me all the way out!!

[@angelawalker5773]

I just watched this documentary this evening and I felt like my story or should I say my daughter’s story was being told through Aubrey. I cried so many tears just remembering how my daughter was affected. My daughter was also 5 at the time her father went away for 7 years. She’s 26 now and her father has been home since she was 13, but the strain it played and still plays on their relationship is still so painful to see. I plan on watching this again with my daughter and I also suggested the same for her dad. This is such a powerful film and I pray it brings healing to every child and father relationship.

Free the dads that’s still in prison, we are fighting for you to come to your daughter ♥️

[@lanawilliams5523]

I pray these men come home and do right by their daughters. My child’s father treated her like she was one of his females and broke her heart all over again. He sold her every pipe dream in emails, letters and phone calls about how he was sorry, wanted to make up for lost time, all the things they’d do etc etc. Sadly that was all to help him past the time then come home and discard of her after using her like he did all those women that also helped him past the time. He goes months without calling/seeing her. I’ve told him on many occasions she acts out in school and he’s unbothered. Didn’t even come see her in the hospital 😢

Everything about this was so powerful. The poetic direction. The emotions, the loss of emotions. The walls, the breaking of walls, the rebuilding of walls. The choice to make a change the realization that those choices lead to harder times. My heart broke for all those children. My heart broke for my younger self that had those same walls and that same attitude toward own father that tried but never hard enough. Contrast that with the starkness of the prison with those hideous video cams as in person visits and it is a reality check that should be a must watch for all young men on a course of destruction.

[@neetweasel6277]

Its like this...When a baby gets born and the baby turns out to be a girl, the girl will grow up to be a pretty woman and we all know what happens towards pretty women in the end, they will become mothers. Now what happens to the boys who become men? The obvious answer is that they will have to get a well-paying job but check this out. All of the manufacturing/factory jobs have been shipped towards China, Mexico, India, and other third-world countries. What remains nowadays in the United States are these low-paying jobs that always seem to revolve around dealing with the public. These ones seem to be the ones that stuck around after the better-paying jobs got shipped towards those third-world not-so-pleasant countries. The Average Joe and those fellas who are too smart to not "sell themselves short" who also sees this knows for a fact that this is not enough to sustain oneself without living at home with yo parents but what happens next is that the Average Joe and those hustlers out there stay walking the earth looking for something to do…something to get into…a central important thing to be involved in like those sport programs, show choirs, regular spots downtown, social clubs where you can talk about your feelings, etc. After mandatory education/high school comes to an end, there is none of that out there. Is it any wonder how familiar names around your hometown always seem to be getting into trouble with the law…? The reasons explains itself. There is NOT much to do out there….unless you want to turn yourself into a hermit and never go outside and having to put up with the nonsense of the world. There’s a reason why the prison system exists. Its to hold massive amount of the fellas and some women who behave like boys who can’t control their urges/emotions/impulsive nature. I feel for these guys & sympathize with their plight until I get reminded that these were probably the folks who couldn’t sit down & shut up during class for 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week. Its awful how the prisoners HAPPENED to have children but...uh...those women who have children out-of-wedlock by the fellas who's slick with his mouth but can't rub two 20 dollar bills cause working a job for The Man is considered corny are the same ones to be making questionable impulse decisions on the fly without thinking of the future. Those women weren't raped and the folks for a certain time dressed to impress but now they are broke & dusty.

[@SallyMankus130]

Feature films weren't designed for viewers to take breaks during them.

Alright so I saw this last night at a premiere AND I have never experienced such psychical body aches from watching something. I felt so ill after and the tears shed was a lot. It's a love story, not a jail story. SO many complex layers ... wonderful wonderful job

[@XiAdu2]

Maaan, it’s too early in the morning to be crying over a trailer NETFLIX! The way my allergies are set up 😪

[@PerTheSpirit]

The tears I KNOW I’m About to Cry 😭 YESSS, Netflix. Black Daughters LOOOOVE Our Fathers (No Matter the Activity Level of The Relationship). 🫂 Watching the daddies in their suits anticipating reunion??? Beautiful. May All Be Healed & All Be Well. 🤍🤍🤍

[@colleenross8486]

I'm going in--tissue ready, room ready, ears open...ready to get educated. Thank you for your efforts and for shining a spotlight on a constructive alternative. Godspeed to all of us brothers and sisters.

[@candydavis3162]

Getting teary from a trailer is insane 😢. Can’t wait to see it ❤

[@torriebrown9607]

I was crying for the Daughters and was crying for the Father's more❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Veko254]

All children deserve loving mothers & fathers. When you make a life; please sitt down and choose them! Because as soon as you gain the title of mother/ father; your life is no longer about you.

[@torriebrown9607]

Well Said ❤

[@mistynorman3172]

I done already started crying and its only the trailer, essentially when the dads all looked to the right and their baby girls were walking down the hallway inntheir little dresses 👗 😭 ❤ and the little girl saying (ill always be there for you) absolutely took me out 😢

[@Nappylox71]

Oh man. I don’t think I can watch this. Not cause it’s bad but because my heart might not be able to take it.

[@khismet]

Surprise yourself. Your heart will thank you💚

[@cklewis6]

Already crying from the trailer alone I will have my tissues and water ready.

[@maatx4027]

They all look like little boys when searching for their daughters down the long prison hallway. I was this little girl. Hard life.

[@lizd.8655]

Though this wasn't my experience growing up, this was the case for some of my cousins. I look forward to watching this 🥲

[@zyongslife]

Poor babies! Love that they got to dance with their dads. I'll need to check this out.

[@rahdancecompany5443]

This is beautiful and a work that can change the fate of a large population of people. Daughters sounds like a life changing documentary. I can’t wait to see the entire thing.

[@lightuponlight6727]

I'm about to cry like a fool watching this.

[@todd2324]

Black men, this should make you cry. Protect your kids and be there for them. End the cycle of incarceration.

[@doshpits]

lol shullup

[@todd2324]

@@doshpits You're part of the problem

[@starrr432]

tell that to the people that wrongly incarcerate our men all the time

[@todd2324]

@starrr432 So, all black men in prison are innocent? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? The most violent communities in this country are in the urban areas: Chicago, Philly, Oakland, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Houston, Atlanta, etc. I could go on an on. Black men are the ones killing each other in these cities, and then brag about it in gangster rap.

[@todd2324]

@doshpits You're part of the problem.

[@deidremwilliams210]

My God! I am already bawling for myself and for my daughter 😢😢😭😭I pray every young lady, teenager, woman, and man gets everything they need from watching this.... 🙏🙏❤

[@cartoonhigh9990]

“My daughter going through the same thing I went through” It’s generational!! They just expect people to be better when not a single person in their lives ever showed them how!!

[@Ann-cx3dd]

Daughters: Do everything you can to not repeat history....

[@daniemals1378]

Please watch this film if you haven’t. It is such a beautiful story and will affect you emotionally. But it is a story that needs to be told . There are happy endings.. You won’t be disappointed

[@ShekinahDMitchell]

I am so proud to have Girls for a Change in my city under the incredible leadership of Angela!! This documentary is amplifying the powerful work they have been doing for many years and telling a story that is so needed. I hope the documentary leads to more national support so their work can keep growing to reach other girls

[@atlaustell]

I was blessed to have my Father for 45 years of my life. He and my Mother were married for 47 years before he passed. I wish all black girls and boys could have that same life experience.

[@iamajab]

Now this! This HAS TO spark a change, it has to. This trailer is so beautiful 🥹💕 DAUGHTERS NEED THEIR FATHERS! I thank God everyday for mines.

[@charliecheadle9154]

It look so beautiful. When they were coming down the hallway, I was really rooting for the fathers. Can’t wait to watch ❤
