Synopsis

An intimate look at two families fighting to stay connected despite a system designed to keep them apart. Using the Richmond City Jail's annual Father-Daughter Dance as its emotional centerpiece, the film follows Joey and Rashaan—two men who have cycled in and out of incarceration throughout their adulthood—and asks a fundamental question: how does a family survive when they are forced apart? Filmed over several years, the film is above all about family connection. Despite overwhelming obstacles, these families face their circumstances with humor, fierce devotion to one another, and remarkable charisma. The Trouble I See… reveals not just what the system takes from them, but what it cannot: the unbreakable bonds of family.
