For Your Consideration | Best Documentary Feature
Book banning is as old as public libraries, but the battlegrounds are freshly polarized and the stakes as high as ever, as witnessed by Oscar®-nominated Kim A. Snyder in her paean to librarians, and the parents and students who flank them, on the frontlines.
A New York Times Critic’s Pick!
“From its superb opening-credits sequence paying tribute to card catalogs of yore to its sharp selection of vintage clips and intimate reportage, “The Librarians” is as well-crafted as it is profoundly alarming.”
- Sheri Linden
