Program Description
Event Details
"Banned Together" pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today: book bans and curriculum censorship in public schools. Banned Together follows three students and their adult allies as they fight to reinstate 97 books suddenly pulled from their school libraries. As they evolve from local to national activists – meeting with bestselling/banned authors, politicians, Constitutional experts, and more – the film reveals the dark forces behind the accelerating wave of book bans in the U.S.
Discussion will immediately follow the film screening.
Banned Books Week will be observed October 5-11 and this year's theme is "Censorship is so 1984. Read For Your Rights."
