A diverse cast of visionary teenagers, stirring public protests, private threats, criminal charges, and drama-filled school board meetings: this is the explosive world of BANNED TOGETHER. The film pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today: book bans and curriculum censorship in public schools. It follows three students as they fight to reinstate 97 books suddenly pulled from their school libraries. As they evolve from local to national activists, they meet with banned authors, politicians, and the major players protecting the First Amendment of our Constitution.
Attendees are welcome to participate in a post-screening discussion.
Presented by the DiMenna-Nyselius Library, the CAS Politics Department, and the Connecticut Writing Project at Fairfield University.
