THROUGH THE NIGHT is an intimate cinema verité portrait of three working mothers whose lives all intersect at a 24-hour daycare center: a mother working the overnight shift as an essential worker at a hospital; another holding down three jobs just to support her family; and a woman who for over two decades has cared for the children of parents with nowhere else to turn. A tender portrait of titanic strength, love, and selflessness, THROUGH THE NIGHT showcases the multiplicity of “women’s work” -- paid, underpaid, and unpaid; emotional and physical; domestic and career-oriented -- all while negotiating the terms of a dignified existence under the three arrows of racism, sexism, and capitalism in America.

Directed and produced by Loira Limbal, a Sundance Institute Fellow and a former Ford Foundation Justfilms/Rockwood Fellow - and a graduate of the Third World Newsreel Production Workshop.

THROUGH THE NIGHT will stream for two days leading up to the talk with the director and others on Tuesday, March 16th at 6:30 PM. Those who RSVP will get a link to view the film and to the Zoom talk on the 16th. Spaces limited to 100 guests.  Sponsored by the Documentary Forum at CCNY and Third World Newsreel.
