Most Americans agree that family comes first, but America is the only developed nation in the world without paid leave. In one of the richest countries, having a baby, a medical emergency or an aging parent can be a trigger into poverty. Weaving powerful personal stories with insightful interviews, Zero Weeks is a groundbreaking documentary by award-winning director Ky Dickens that explores America’s paid leave crisis and the cost of doing nothing.
Featured panelists:
Speaker of the House Mitzi Johnson
Randy George of Red Hen Baking Company
Chelsea Frisbee, Burlington
Ky Dickens, Filmmaker
