'The Librarians'

“The Librarians” follows a courageous network of besieged librarians as they unite to examine how book restriction policies are shaping library collections. When 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. Indie Lens Pop-Up, presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS, and St. Johnsbury Athenaeum.
