Ep 188: Netflix documentary Daughters - Empowering Girls’ Voices with Natalie Rae & Angela Patton

Anna Smith takes a closer look at the poignant, BAFTA-nominated Netflix documentary Daughters, co-directed by Natalie Rae and Angela Patton. The film intimately portrays the lives of four young Black women in the United States, navigating the emotional challenges of growing up with fathers who are incarcerated. Directors Natalie and Angela join Anna to discuss their eight-year journey bringing this powerful story to life, from filming during the pandemic to building an open and compassionate dialogue with the young women seen on screen, all culminating in the transformative Daddy Daughter Dance at the heart of the documentary. Angela Patton, CEO of Girls For A Change, shares her perspective on amplifying young women’s voices, while Natalie Rae delves into the creative and emotional process of filming such a personal and moving story in this episode of Girls On Film. Daughters is available to stream on Netflix now. Sign up to the Girls On Film newsletter below: http://eepurl.com/iEKaM-/ or email girlsonfilmsocial@gmail.com to be signed up.
