Documentary Explores Why U.S. Mothers Lack Support Systems Found in Other Countries

A new documentary explores the realities of motherhood in America, from the high cost of child care to the culture wars over parenting and raising a family. Amna Nawaz spoke with the filmmakers behind “No Country for Mothers” for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.

Amna Nawaz:

The debate over a modern motherhood is often framed as a choice between career and family. A new documentary film called “No Country For Mothers” dives deep into the so-called mommy wars, unpacking the systems that exploit and perpetuate those divides and what it would take to end them.
