An obvious wealth of emotions, but tough to really dig in either on the side of the program (which becomes a background entity despite needing to be the subject as well as unclear in practice since some fathers are out in a few months and need this now while others have thirty years and thus might be doing more damage) or the specific inmates and daughters (considering the focus is mainly split four ways—and often more—with varying success).

Interesting in an abstract essay film sense of vignetted love and responsibility. Disappointing in a narrative documentary sense of purposeful storytelling. Still good and worth a look.
