This spring, join us for monthly documentary screenings at Forbes! These films are presented through the Indie Lens Pop-Up program. This month: The Librarians (86 minutes), plus an optional discussion afterward.
About the film: When Texas lawmakers seek to review a list of books, librarians find themselves on the frontlines of a national battle. Across the U.S., 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.
Filmmakers: Kim A. Snyder (director/producer), Janique L. Robillard (producer), Maria Cuomo Cole (producer), and Jana Edelbaum (producer)
