While this was a heart wrenching and beautifully made documentary, I fear it didn't tell enough of the story. It left me feeling like maybe it was unkind to build up the hopes of these little girls, especially Aubrey, who really seemed to suffer from the disappointment of not seeing her father.
It also fails to tell us enough about what seems like a cruel punishment --NOT allowing "touch" visits between prisoners and their children. There really needs to be more information about that policy--has there been an y challenges to it? Isn't it "cruel and unusual" punishment? What states DO allow touch visits with children. WHY is there this prohibition? It also doesn't tell us much about the longterm impact on the fathers. The documentary only covers these four particular daughters. What about all the others? how many have been involved? Since when? Also--the music was --not helpful. The events speak for themselves--the depth of emotion. I am very glad I watched it and hope lots more people do. It's a terribly important documentary.
