No Country for Mothers is a documentary investigation into the lies used throughout history to distract and divide American mothers. The film opens on a simple truth: motherhood in America is impossible by design. Work ends at 6, but school pickup is at 3. Child care costs more than a paycheck. Some moms are back at work two weeks after giving birth. Moms aren't broken. The system is. So why hasn't it changed? Because every time mothers get close to fixing it, someone hands them a culture war instead. Tradwife versus girlboss. Working mom versus stay-at-home mom. It's the same fight on repeat since the 1950s, just in new costumes. And it works, because the worst thing you can accuse a woman of is being a bad mother. So moms take the bait. They spend their energy defending their choices instead of demanding better ones. And while they fight each other, nothing changes. No Country for Mothers traces that struggle through American history and travels the country to hear from the moms actually living it. Most don't want to milk a cow or hustle past their kids' bedtimes. They're just trying to get through the week without a sick kid or a broken car blowing up the budget.

Ten states. 10,825 miles. 123 theaters. Filmmaker Rustin Thompson journeys into the American West on a search for traces of what was once a center of small-town life: the movie theater. On the trip, he finds long abandoned and forgotten cinemas; movie houses that have fallen into disrepair; theaters recently closed, theaters struggling to hold on, and theaters that—thanks to their thoughtful caretakers—are not only surviving but thriving. Between the stops along the way, Rustin poetically intersperses excerpts from Peter Bogdanovich’s 1971 classic film The Last Picture Show, as well as reflections on past and present hardships facing the film exhibition industry. The Last Picture Shows is not only a timely portrait of an industry in crisis, one facing the headwinds of consolidation, streaming, and the diminishing theatrical experience, but it also reminds viewers that even in vast cinema deserts, there are oases of community and gathering that remain, where the movie house continues to be a place of wonder, contemplation, and connection.
