About the Film:
Through the Night is an award-winning documentary film that explores the personal cost of our modern economy through the stories of two working mothers and a child care provider - whose lives intersect at a 24-hour daycare center.

It’s a love letter to single mothers, child care providers, caregivers, and all of those who mother, to feel held, heard, and seen. It's a beautifully crafted multi-layered portrait of mothering--peace, calm, strength, laughter, exhaustion, loneliness, sacrifice, community, and love.
