"Daughters" The Documentary

House Of Alston

The award-winning documentary "Daughters" focuses on young girls whose fathers are incarcerated, and the long and short-term consequences on the girls' lives. During the film, which is based on a program created by Angela Patton, the fathers participate in a parenting program so they can attend a Daddy-Daughter dance inside the prison and spend a few hours of with their kids.

Called "extraordinarily moving" by the New York Times, Variety said "this quietly consequential film makes clear the weight of mass incarceration on families," and Vulture wrote that "you won't forget the faces of 'Daughters.'"

The documentary hit home for Darrell Alston, who spent more than a decade incarcerated for selling drugs. But not until this film was released did Darrell Alston speak with his two daughters about that time in their lives and how it effected them.

In this special, often emotional, sometimes heated episode, the Alston daughters speak with their father about the documentary and their shared past, bravely sharing their thoughts and feelings in the hope that it sparks other people to have difficult - but healing - conversations with their loved ones.
