🎤 Live Q&A
After the film join the live Q&A panel with:
- Deloris "Nunu" Hogan & Patrick "Pop Pop" Hogan (Family Daycare Owners, Dee’s Tots)
- Shana Bartley, Director of Community Partnerships, National Women's Law Center
- Oriana Powell, Childcare Organizer, Mothering Justice
- Loira Limbal, Director/Producer of Through the Night
💌 The film is a love letter
Through the Night is a love letter to single mothers and caregivers. It is a portrait of three working mothers whose lives 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.

✨ What people are saying
Press & Organizations
"Daycare" is a misnomer for a huge portion of working parents-- work hours happen at any time, day or night." - Early Learning Nation
“Powerful! “Through the Night” bears witness to the struggles of these working people, to their tenderness and mercy. Limbal keeps her gaze steady, and her vérité rigor becomes an act of solidarity.” -NY Times
"The women who depend on 24/7 home daycare programs like Dee’s Tots [in the film] work at CVS, as overnight nurses, home health aides, in nursing homes and in janitorial services – they’re "the people who have been on the frontlines of the pandemic this whole time, who not only care for us but do the work that makes all other work possible.” -The Guardian

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.

“Intimately observed. An up-close look at just what it takes, the relentless hard work and unwavering love.” -- Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter
“[Loira] Limbal’s loving but outraged film explores the backbreaking work and tireless support required for single mothers to raise their kids, a feat that’s only possible because of people who are willing to offer their community some of the help and compassion the United States government won’t.” -- David Ehrlich, indieWIRE
