Banned Books Week Kick-off: Documentary Screening "To Be Destroyed" In-Person
A brief welcome and overview of National Banned Books Week will be provided, then a screening of "To Be Destroyed" (31 min. film). Attendees are welcome to also participate in a post-screening discussion.
TO BE DESTROYED (2024) follows author Dave Eggers as he meets with students and teachers in the Rapid City, SD school district where his novel, The Circle, was pulled from shelves along with works by Alison Bechdel, Stephen Chbosky, Bernardine Evaristo, and Imbolo Mbue. Through footage of heated school board meetings, community rallies and interviews with locals, we learn how these books were designated "to be destroyed."
