SUMMARY:”The Librarians” documentary about banned books
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTUESDAY\, OCTOBER 7 AT 7:30PM\n\n\n\nREGULAR ADMISSION PRICES\n\n\n\nPASSES ACCEPTED\n\n\n\n“Celebrate the freedom to read at this special Banned Books Week screening of the acclaimed new documentary\, The Librarians! \n\n\n\nWarriors come in all shapes and sizes\, as America’s librarians bravely fight the pervasive censorship that threatens to eliminate free thought in the latest film from Oscar-nominated director Kim A. Snyder and executive producer Sarah Jessica Parker. As an unprecedented wave of book banning\, primarily targeting race and queerness\, spreads across the country\, librarians under siege unite as unlikely defenders\, fighting for intellectual freedom on the fronts lines of democracy. In The Librarians\, which world premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival\, filmmaker Snyder introduces us to everyday heroes and takes us to this unexpected front line\, where a group of librarians dubbed the FReadom Fighters put their careers and their lives at risk to resist book bans in states like Texas and Florida. Determined to keep stories about all identities and communities on their shelves\, the librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy\, free access to information\, and our First Amendment rights\, all while reiterating the power of collective\, community-driven action. (Dir. by Kim A. Snyder\, 2025\, USA\, 92 mins.\, Not Rated)” \n\n\n\n1 HR 32 MIN | NR\n\n\n\nReleased 2025
