Most Americans agree that family comes first but in the richest country in the world, having a baby, a medical emergency or an aging parent can be a trigger into poverty. No matter where you work or what zip code you live in, you should be able to welcome a new child, care for an aging parent or tend to a cancer diagnosis without facing financial disaster.

Zero Weeks (2017) Reviews
As a convservative, I value this film
I've always been a conservative but was recommended that I watch this film due to preconceived notions that I had about paid leave. I have to admit, I wasn't sure what to expect and I certainly didn't think a film about paid family leave could be gripping. This documentary is one of those films that can serve as a wake up call. It is compelling and the subject stories are raw and vulnerable. The filmmaker breaks down what paid leave is and how America suffers by not having it via animation. I really appreciated that the film goes through great pains to lay out why small businesses should have paid leave - and whether or not it could sink them into debt. I have worked for years as a public librarian and I feel like this film should be mandatory viewing for any working American or business owners. I was pleasantly surprised and very much taken by this film 0 Weeks.
