Film Details
Screening in association with Ipswich Book Festival.
Directed by Kim A. Snyder (Newtown, Us Kids) and executive produced by Sarah Jessica Parker, this timely documentary follows a group of embattled librarians who, during an unprecedented wave of book banning in Texas, Florida and beyond, join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy. In a dystopian saga akin to a real-life Fahrenheit 451 sequel, director Kim A. Snyder’s gripping documentary traverses small-town USA with riveting interviews and troves of archival material to reveal the story of the country’s heroic librarians, everyday Americans who are risking everything to uphold the most fundamental of rights.
