This film is for anyone who is a mom or anyone who has one.
mothers unite.
America was never built for mothers to thrive. We’re uncovering why.
about the film
For generations, mothers in the U.S. have been told to work harder, smile wider, and do it all — while a system built to fail us keeps going with the status quo.
Motherhood has been devalued and dismissed, yet mothers are still expected to hold up the economy with no structural support to stand on.
We’re investigating how we got here — and what it will take to build something better.
“For too long, motherhood has been used to divide us — working moms versus stay-at-home moms, rich versus poor, red versus blue. Those labels were never real; they were designed to keep us fighting each other instead of fixing the system.”
