As much as we love films we do appreciate libraries and it is said that everyone has a book in them. Indeed we’re pleased to announce that our very own Editor has just completed his first book having just finished colouring in the last page (‘You’re fired!’ – Ed). But we digress as landing in our inbox is The Librarians trailer – a true life documentary that is alarming in its depiction of oppression of free speech though amazingly does not feature two tier Kier Starmer.
Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy – as they well know, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities. In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQia+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of White Christian Nationalism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work, the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.
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 are risking everything to uphold the most fundamental of rights.
