I watched this film with my dad after seeing the trailer because I thought that it would be an awfully wholesome but touching film. Turns out, that it was gut-wrenching and so sad yet happy. During the last few minutes of the movie my father hugged me while we watched the movie. Honestly, that simple action made me cry even more as the story delved into the aftermath of the Dad and Daughter dance. Everything from the cinematography, dialogue, and use of music and sounds made me cry. I think the most touching of the kids was Aubrey. The simple dialogue of her father telling her that she's either going to see him when she's twelve or thirteen is heartbreaking. She keeps saying twelve until they agree on that age. It hurts even more after the movie ends when it says that his sentence ended up being ten years. I truly believe that this is one of the most emotionally painful movies of this year, and that it's one of the best documentaries that I've ever watched. I absolutely recommend this movie to whoever wants to ask me. Though, I do have to mention that it will leave you in tears from the get go.

An Emotional Tragedy
One of the most important and emotional documentaries ever!
This documentary is so important! It is so important for a lot of people to see, especially for those who live in America. I hope all the dads in this documentary have a close relationship with their daughters no matter happens. I hope more and more jails and prisons have this dance and that more and more change happens with these families. It was so emotional and beautiful to see these daughters with their fathers. I really hope good things and good seasons and good times happen for these families and protection and safety for them as well. So many people need to see to see what so many black men go through and black families go through.
