Film of the Month: "The Librarians"
With your BIBCARD you can stream movies and series for free on filmfriend – discover this month the compelling documentary “The Librarians” by Kim A. Snyder.
Since 2021, attempts to remove books from libraries in the USA have increased dramatically. School libraries and titles on sex education, LGBTQ+ issues, racism, African American history, diversity, and equality are particularly affected. Under the guise of protecting minors, librarians, parents, and freedom of information advocates are coming under increasing pressure.
Kim A. Snyder portrays people who stand up against these censorship campaigns – despite hostility, threats, and political intimidation. "The Librarians" combines personal stories with historical and contemporary archival footage, showing how fragile democratic freedoms can become when access to knowledge becomes a political battleground.
