This week, I have an emotional chat with director NATALIE RAE about her beautiful, award-winning NETFLIX documentary, "DAUGHTERS," which won two awards at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, was shortlisted for the 2025 Oscars, and is now up for a Peabody. Listen as Natalie tells me about the 8 long years it took her and co-director ANGELA PATTON to make "Daughters" and what it felt like to finally get into Sundance and then sell the project to Netflix after hearing "no" so many times over the years. Find out how Natalie's music video background inspired her to experiment with mix camera formats and develop a unique look to the film and how she was able to attach Kerry Washington as an executive producer. "Daughters" chronicles some young girls and their fathers as they prepare for and then attend a "daddy-daughter-dance." But the twist is that these fathers are incarcerated... and almost never get to see their daughters. So this one day, this one event is incredibly special for all involved. Check out the Daughters Trailer and watch the film now on Netflix. Listen to the full episode anywhere you get podcasts or watch it on my YouTube channel.
