In this new documentary from Oscar-Nominated Documentarian Kim A. Snyder, Librarians unite to combat book banning and to defend First Amendment Rights amid unprecedented censorship in Texas, Florida, and beyond.
In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQia+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.
