Four young girls prepare for a special Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers, as part of a unique fatherhood program in a Washington, D.C. jail. For most of the daughters, the dance will be the only time they will be able to touch or hug their fathers during their sentences, some of which are as long as 20 years. The film won two awards in the U.S. Documentary Competition at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival: Festival Favorite and Audience Choice.
Angela Patton is a female activist for “at risk”, or, as she prefers “at-promise,” African-American girls. She is the founder of Camp Diva and the CEO of Girls for a Change. In 2016 Patton was nominated and awarded by President Barack Obama as a “Champion of Change for Enrichment for Marginalized Girls.” Natalie Rae got her start in music videos, winning Rock Video of the Year at the MuchMusic Video Awards for her first video, Serena Ryder’s Stompa. She’s since had collaborations with other music artists.
Hamptons Doc Fest now in its 17th year, is a nonprofit organization founded by filmmakers to champion and celebrate the rich, diverse and challenging world of non-fiction film. We recognize and honor documentary films and filmmakers who deserve a closer look.
The Hamptons Doc Fest is from December 5 – 11, 2024 in Sag Harbor, New York.
