NOW on PBS: Through the Night
[link removed]
Loira Limbal's documentary feature film Through the Night ([link removed]) broadcasts tonight on POV on PBS (check local listings ([link removed]) ). Through the Night is a verité documentary 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 in New Rochelle, New York.

Tune in to the film that The New York Times ([link removed]) called an "act of solidarity", a film that "bears witness to the struggles of... working people, to their tenderness and mercy," and that The Hollywood Reporter ([link removed]) described as "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." Through the Night was an Official Selection of the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival and received a Special Jury Recognition at the 2020 DOC NYC Film Festival.

Standing Above the Clouds
The broadcast of Through the Night will be accompanied by the public television premiere of Standing Above the Clouds ([link removed]) directed by Jalena Keane-Lee, a special presentation by POV Shorts. Following Native Hawaiian mother-daughter activists as they stand to protect their sacred mountain Mauna Kea from the building of the world’s largest telescope, Standing Above the Clouds continues POV's celebration of Mother's Day with powerful stories about childcare, the multiplicity of "women's work," activism and motherhood.
