Post-film discussion moderated by Randall Morton of Progressive Forum Houston features Oscar-nominated filmmaker Kim A. Snyder, executive producer Amber Alonso, and Texas librarians from the film: Carolyn Foote, Dorcas Hand, and Audrey Wilson-Youngblood
The Librarians, which made its world premiere at Sundance, explores the urgent moment in which we find ourselves. 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. The Librarians is a chilling cautionary tale and rallying cry for freedom—told through the personal experiences of librarians and the everyday patriots who join their ranks in defense of books.
