Film Screening: "Banned Together: The Fight Against Censorship"

Banned Together features a “diverse cast of visionary teenagers, stirring public protests, private threats, criminal charges, and drama-filled school board meetings.”

The film “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.”

Stay after the film for a Q&A discussion led by Dr. Sherbini of our social and behavioral sciences department.
