"Banned Together" Synopsis:
A diverse cast of visionary teenagers, stirring public protests, private threats, criminal charges, and drama-filled school board meetings: this is the explosive world of Banned Together. The film pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today: book bans and curriculum censorship in public schools. Banned Together follows three students as they fight to reinstate 97 books suddenly pulled from their school libraries. As they evolve from local to national activists the film reveals the dark forces behind the accelerating wave of book bans in the U.S., and the continued harassment of educators and librarians.
“I was glued to the screen watching three teens fight against censorship in their high school and beyond - their inspiring journey left me feeling that the future is in good hands, and that frighteningly well-organized dark forces under the guise of ‘liberty’ will not prevail. BANNED TOGETHER shows us what we are up against in the fight to protect literature, and how much we can accomplish when we act together.”
–Kerri Maher, USA Today Bestselling Author
