Film Information:
As book bans rise across the U.S., The Librarians follows those on the front lines—librarians fighting to defend democracy and First Amendment rights. Facing harassment, censorship, and political pressure, these “first responders for free thought” reveal the scale of extremist movements seeking to control information.
“A gripping story of what is at stake when curiosity and thinking are endangered… It introduces viewers to the everyday and increasingly vital heroes pushing back.” – Variety
