A short film inside a lactation room in the U.S. Congress Longworth House Building reveals the hidden labor of working mothers. In the Capitol lounge, women from across the aisle mingle and bond, a rare opportunity in an era of intense divisiveness. Coincidentally, the week Botz was filming, Congress adopted the Federal Employee Paid Leave Act, which now offers 12 weeks of paid parental leave to approximately 2.1 million federal workers.
