The 2026 documentary isn’t up for digital rental or purchase on any major storefronts either — by design.
The 78-minute film is only showing via theatrical and community screenings in the U.S.
Why skip streaming
The filmmakers have deliberately avoided an online release to push viewers toward shared, real-time conversations — a community-first rollout meant to spark discussion and organize collective action. The idea is to bring mothers from different backgrounds and beliefs into the same room (or the same moderated event) to talk, compare experiences and build momentum for systemic change.
What the film covers
Directed by Raeshem Nijhon and executive produced by Reshma Saujani (founder of Moms First), the documentary examines the systemic challenges facing American mothers. It also calls out how culture-war narratives — from the “girl boss” ideal to the “trad wife” revival — can drown out the core policy questions that actually shape family life.
- Paid family leave
- Affordable childcare
- Workplace policies that fail to support families
Told through investigative reporting and personal stories, the film follows mothers from varied political, economic and social backgrounds who often hit the same walls. It argues long-standing divisions have stalled real reform, while highlighting a growing movement to unite parents around concrete policy changes and stronger support systems.
For now, there’s no digital release: the only way to watch is to attend a theatrical or community screening, join one of the public or virtual events, or host your own through the film’s official screening initiative.
