This subject matter is not foreign to Washington both behind the cameras and as their focus: She currently stars in the Hulu series “UnPrisoned,” where she plays a daughter reunited with her formerly incarcerated father, as theGrio previously reported.

According to Variety, Netflix is closing a distribution deal for the film. With three companies reportedly circling “Daughters” to get it in front of their audiences, the deal is said to be in the “seven-figure” range. It currently stands at 100 percent “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes.
