LOS ANGELES, CA (November 13, 2024) The Soundtrack from the Netflix Documentary DAUGHTERS with music by Kelsey Lu (Earth Mother) featuring additional music by Miink is now available.  The 28-track album releases today on music streaming platforms.  Winner of two Sundance Film Festival Awards and nominated for six Critics Choice Documentary Awards, including Best Score, the film is available exclusively on Netflix.

Directed by filmmaker Natalie Rae and activist and activator Angela Patton, Daughters follows a group of girls taking part in Patton’s Washington, D.C. program Girls For A Change as they prepare for the momentous Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers. Here, they’ll be able to touch their fathers for the first time since they’ve been behind bars. Under scenes filled with the deepest degrees of love, heartbreak, and vulnerability shared by the daughters and their fathers, Lu uses notes from the cello and piano to hold the experiences of each character with tenderness. 

To honor the complexities of the daughters’ relationships, Lu created a score that made space for each character to be seen and heard – a score that brings light and reverence to a powerful film about familial love. 

Kelsey Lu notes, “Composing the score for ‘Daughters’ deepened my understanding of Love in all its complexities, not only to one another but to what I do. This film holds many lessons on Empathy and how important it is to fight for what you love. Angela’s work with these girls is empowering of what is possible when you believe and what she and Natalie made is testament to that. All of these sentiments are what is inside the music I’m so happy to be sharing.”

ABOUT DAUGHTERS
A moving portrait of empathy and forgiveness, DAUGHTERS traces an eight-year documentary journey by filmmaker Natalie Rae and social change advocate Angela Patton. The film intimately follows Aubrey, Santana, Raziah, and Ja’Ana as they prepare for a momentous Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers. Speaking openly about their aspirations, dreams, and the emotional toll of their fathers’ absence, compounded by the constraints of virtual visits, these girls reveal a profound wisdom and resilience beyond their years. As they navigate heartbreak, anger, and uncertainty, they seize a precious opportunity to forge connections. DAUGHTERS sheds light on the complexities of familial bonds strained by the unforgiving barriers of the criminal justice system and emphasizes that the foundation of community healing lies within the family unit.
