A new documentary “Through The Night” recently came out and is starting to build a buzz both in the film world and early childhood education and care community.

The official summary of the movie from the website states “Through The Night is a love letter to single mothers and caregivers. To make ends meet, people in the U.S. are working longer hours across multiple jobs. This modern reality of non-stop work has resulted in an unexpected phenomenon: the flourishing of 24-hour daycare centers. Through the Night, a documentary by Bronx-based Afro-Latina DJ, filmmaker, and film executive Loira Limbal, 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”

An article about the movie in The New York Times writes  “Through the Night” bears witness to the struggles of these working people, to their tenderness and mercy. Limbal keeps her gaze steady, and her vérité rigor becomes an act of solidarity.”

An article in The Hollywood Reporter from earlier this year proclaims “Through the Night is both celebration and indictment. A sympathetic depiction of "women's work," in all its unsung dignity, it's also a quietly damning portrait of a merciless economy's effect on working-class mothers — particularly black women and Latinas, who often must work taking care of other people's children in order to feed their own. As Nunu puts it, "This is the way the world is set up at this point."
