Event Details
Celebrate the freedom to read during Banned Books Week with the first feature documentary about fighting book bans and censorship in the U.S.
The explosive world of Banned Together which includes a diverse cast of visionary teenagers, stirring public protests, private threats, criminal charges, and drama-filled school board meetings 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 from Beaufort, South Carolina, who joined forces as members of Diversity Awareness Youth Literacy Organization (DAYLO), and their adult allies as they fight to reinstate 97 books suddenly pulled from their school libraries.
