Sunday, May 5, 5:45 p.m. | A profoundly emotional eight-year journey of incarnated fathers and their daughters, this Sundance standout—winner of two Audience Awards—is a miraculous wonder of humanity, compassion, and social conscience. Set in Washington, D.C., the film follows male inmates who are invited to join a special rehabilitation program, which culminates with a Daddy Daughter Dance. The reunion has a lasting impact on all of their lives. “Intimate and stirring” (Vanity Fair) and “enormously moving” (IndieWire).
