No Small Matter is the first feature documentary 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 and reveals how our failure to at on that evidence has resulted in an everyday crisis for American families, including here in Itasca County.

No Small Matter is built from stories of real children, families, and teachers, illustrating the impact of high-quality early childhood experiences. We meet the parents who are struggling to do their best for their kids, incredible teachers who model what early childhood classrooms should and could be like, and children learning and developing in real time. These positive, hopeful stories remind us that change is necessary, critical, and attainable is we put our minds to it. There are 24 million children under the age of six in America today.

You know how many of them have to be taken care of all day, every day by an adult?
All of them them.
