No Small Matter Screening
July 18 - 22, 2022

All week long, we will be sponsoring a screening of the well-renowned feature-length documentary, No Small Matter. The film will be available for viewing 24 hours a day during GLR Week. Please share widely in your community.

"The first major theatrical documentary to tackle this topic, No Small Matter is designed to kick-start the public conversation about early care and education. The ultimate goal: to produce an entertaining, accessible, and inspiring film that redefines the audience’s understanding of the issue and helps drive it to the top of the political agenda."
