The Librarian Film Screening

Description

The UWRF Library invites you to a film screening of THE LIBRARIANS. THE LIBRARIANS, which made its world premiere at Sundance and continued on to SXSW and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, explores the urgent moment we find ourselves in. As an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy, flanked by concerned community members and young readers. With unique access to a new movement in the making, librarians take us on an odyssey across America to tell their story to resist censorship efforts. THE LIBRARIANS is a chilling cautionary tale and rallying cry for freedom – told through the personal experiences of librarians under siege and the everyday patriots who join their ranks in defense of the books. A panel discussion will follow the screening.
