Directors Angela Patton and Natalie Rae focus their documentary on a unique program that aims at bringing together estranged daughters with their respective incarcerated Dads. So, we as an audience become privy to four young girls preparing for a special Daddy Daughter Dance in the `Date with Dad’, a unique fatherhood program in a Washington, D.C., jail.

Angela Patton created a first-of-its-kind program in Richmond, Virginia, to bring girls and their incarcerated fathers together in a well-coordinated environment that would make the fathers and daughters feel cherished and connected. The program became impactful enough that other prisons were willing to emulate it.
