Aaron's Thoughts
Documentaries are at their best when they shed a light on a problem or event & dive deep into it with meaningful intent. So many docs these days focus on the first part while forgetting the latter. Daughters does both remarkably well. The best documentaries though take it one step further to offer a solution, which Daughters doesn’t shy away from.
The film is just as emotional as you can imagine, if not more so. The filmmakers don’t get in the way of things or try to draw conclusions that aren’t there. They simply shine a light on the young girls that are impacted by their fathers actions. So munch intention is put into highlighting all sides of the subject matter - the perspective of the fathers, the perspective of the daughters, and the perspective of the mothers.
Truly one of the most eye opening documentaries I have ever seen and one that I think will spark some serious positive change.
