No Small Matter is one of the first feature documentaries to explore the most overlooked, underestimated, and powerful force for change in America today: early childhood education. Through poignant stories and surprising humor, the film lays out the overwhelming evidence for the importance of the first five years of a baby’s life. It reveals how our failure to act on that evidence has resulted in an everyday crisis for American families, and a slow-motion catastrophe for the country. A panel discussion will follow.
(The No Small Matter screening is an abridged version of the film for discussion purposes. The full-length feature will not air on Nine PBS.)
Panelists include:
Ellicia Lanier, Executive Director/Founder, Urban Sprouts
Amanda Lienau Purnell, PhD, Counseling Psychologist, Pattonville School Board, St. Ann, MO
Atia Thurman, MSW, Associate Director, Clark-Fox Policy Institute; Manager of Brown School Initiative
Screening begins at 7:00 pm, discussion begins at 7:45 pm.
In partnership with the Clark-Fox Policy Institute | Brown School at Washington University
