They said 15 days to flatten the curve. Schools stayed closed for 500+ days.

15 DAYS is a forensic investigation into one of the greatest institutional failures in American history—and a case study in how unchecked bureaucratic power can override science, parental authority, and the rule of law.

Join director Natalya Murakhver—the NYC mother who sued Mayor de Blasio to reopen schools and co-founded Restore Childhood—for this groundbreaking documentary featuring experts including NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Dr. Scott Atlas, and leading education scholars.

This film keeps the receipts. It traces how $189.5 billion in federal funds and teachers' union influence kept American children isolated longer than nearly any developed nation—despite overwhelming scientific evidence to reopen. While other Western democracies prioritized educational continuity and children's wellbeing, American public institutions sacrificed a generation's learning and mental health to political expediency.

This is about institutional integrity. When special interests captured public policy and labeled concerned parents "domestic terrorists," they revealed something fundamental about the limits of state authority over family autonomy.

If we don't learn to identify the systems that enabled this, we won't recognize similar patterns of institutional capture in the future.

The film examines the most powerful forces reshaping American education, our children's minds and the future of this country.
