15 Days: The Real Story of America's Pandemic School Closures (2025)

They said 15 days. Schools closed for years. This is how it happened.

A documentary revealing why America's school closures lasted longer than almost any other nation. Framed as a forensic analysis of what happened to children during school closures, it blends director Natalya Murakhver's perspective as a Soviet immigrant with voices of children and families nationwide, exposing devastating learning loss, mental health crises, and inequality.
