The Librarians: documentary public screening

May 12 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join us in the meeting room for a public screening of The Librarians, winner of the Best Documentary Feature Jury Award at the Dallas International Film Festival and at the Sarasota Film Festival and Sundance World Premiere this year. 
From The Librarians press kit: "Once upon a now, in today's America, political polarization finds librarians under siege as an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond.  As the crisis escalates, they join forces as unlikely defenders on the frontlines of democracy...In a dystopian saga akin to a real-life Fahrenheit 451 sequel, director Kim A Snyder's gripping documentary The Librarians traverses small-town USA with riveting interviews and troves of archival materials to reveal the story of the country's heroic librarians, everyday Americans who have become unlikely defenders of democracy, risking everything to uphold our most fundamental of rights." Sponsored by the Friends of the Cedar Falls Public Library
Meeting room. Adults.
