In this episode of Faith in Culture, Tré Goins-Phillips speaks with journalist Brandon Showalter about the new documentary “15 Days: The Real Story of America’s Pandemic School Closures.” The conversation explores how filmmaker Natalya Murakhver uncovers the political, social, and emotional fallout of prolonged shutdowns, highlighting the experiences of parents and children from every background. Showalter explains how extended closures contributed to learning loss, mental-health struggles, family strain, and widespread frustration as Americans realized many decisions were politically driven rather than focused on student welfare. The two also discuss the importance of remembering this period honestly, the danger of forgetting its lessons, and the lasting hope Christians can find in God’s sovereignty despite cultural chaos.
