As an unprecedented wave of book banning largely addressing race and LGBTQIA+ issues is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy. Filmmaker Kim A. Snyder (NEWTOWN, US KIDS, 2025 Oscar-nominated DEATH BY NUMBERS) takes us to an unexpected front line where librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and free access to information.

This is a critical documentary about free speech for people who believe librarians are our superheroes.
