2024 Full Frame Alumni DAUGHTERS Wins Peabody Award

DAUGHTERS, directed by Natalie Rae and Angela Patton, has been named a 2024 Peabody Award recipient.

The Peabody Awards honor stories that “powerfully reflect the pressing social issues and the vibrant emerging voices of our day,” according to the organization’s website, and leverage the enormous strength of storytelling in the pursuit of social justice and equity. 

DAUGHTERS, which screened at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in 2024, tells the story of four young girls as they prepare for a special Daddy-Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers, as part of a unique fatherhood program in a Washington, D.C. jail. 

The film also screened as part of Full Frame’s Winter Road Show series at The Cary Theater earlier this year. DAUGHTERS is now available to stream on Netflix.  

Two other films that screened at Full Frame in 2025—SUGARCANE and HOLLYWOODGATE—were also honored with Peabody Award nominations in the Documentary category.

PHOTOGRAPHER, a documentary series that centers the some of the world’s most impactful photographers, won a Peabody Award in the Arts category. Marshall Curry, a longtime friend of Full Frame whose documentaries STREET FIGHT, POINT AND SHOOT, RACING DREAMS, and IF A TREE FALLS: A STORY OF THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT have all screened at Full Frame, directed the episode highlighting science photographer Anand Varma.
