The LibrariansJoin us for this much-requested documentary about the unsung heroes protecting art, culture and knowledge itself from the forces of puritan censorship. (Interested in being part of a conversation about the film? Our Sunday 11/16 screening will feature an introduction and post-show discussion hosted by Michelle Christian and Annastasia Williams from The Bottom‘s Banned Book Club… plus a selection of oft-banned books for sale!)

When Texas lawmakers seek to review a list of books, librarians find themselves on the frontlines of a national battle. Across the US, librarians face the impact of uniting against library collection standards that include restrictions on race-related and LGBTQIA+ content. Drawing on historical context, The Librarians explores the broader implications for education and public life.

“From its superb opening-credits sequence paying tribute to card catalogs of yore to its sharp selection of vintage clips and intimate reportage, THE LIBRARIANS is as well-crafted as it is profoundly alarming.” – New York Times
