Zero Weeks Storyline
What do the United States and Papua New Guinea have in common? They’re the only countries in the world without paid family leave. 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. But because 78% of Americans say they live paycheck-to-paycheck, families are often forced to choose between taking time off to care for a loved one or to continue work to keep their job and health care. Nearly 1 in 4 mothers return to work within ten days of having a baby and 2/3 of the current workforce are providing care for an aging parent. Weaving powerful stories together with insightful interviews with leading policymakers, economists, researchers, and activists, ZERO WEEKS explores America’s paid leave crisis and the cost of doing nothing. ZERO WEEKS is the fourth documentary by award-winning director, Ky Dickens. A female director, with a track record for creating poignant work known for shifting policy and public opinion, Dickens was inspired to make Zero Weeks, after facing financial depletion and emotional turmoil for “not enough time,” due to a lack of paid leave, after the birth of her first child.—Ky Dickens

Zero Weeks Movie 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.
Never thought paid leave would be interesting – the movie is fabulous
Never in a million years would I think a film about paid leave would be compelling enough to keep my attention for a full 90 minutes. This film is really thorough in laying out a case that will outrage you (if you’re an American) and inspire you to make change. I always thought this was a topic that mattered mostly to moms and parents but I’m wrong. This is about seniors and single people – almost more. It’s a must see.
