Plot

High-quality care and education has far-reaching impacts. With a healthy dose of humor and a surprising edge, discover the tragic cost of getting this wrong and the huge payoff for our kids, families and our country of getting it right.

NO SMALL MATTER is the first feature documentary to explore the most overlooked, underestimated, and powerful force for good 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 act on that evidence has resulted in an everyday crisis for American families, and a slow-motion catastrophe for the country.—No Small Matter
