If you missed the Indie Lens Pop-Up film screening of The Librarians at the Magic Valley Arts Council, you are in luck! Indivisible Twin Falls County will be hosting a special viewing party at the Lamphouse Theatre in Twin Falls, in response to the increasing amount of book bans occurring in our community. There will be a community discussion following the film.
Join Indivisible Twin Falls County Idaho for a special screening of the acclaimed documentary The Librarians, followed by a post-film community discussion to talk about how we protect the freedom to read right here in Idaho.
Featured at the Sundance Film Festival and SXSW Film and TV Festival, this documentary follows librarians as they fight against an anti-government extremist group whose aim is to remove books from school libraries in Texas.
Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights. As they well know, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities.
In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQIA+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.
