[Edited extract from public address]

A timely film that pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today – book bans and curriculum censorship in public schools. 

Follow three students as they fight to reinstate 97 books suddenly pulled from their school libraries. As they evolve from local to national activists, they meet with banned authors, politicians, and the major players protecting the First Amendment of the American Constitution. 

An explosive story that exposes the powerful forces behind book bans and censorship in the U.S. Features a diverse cast of visionary teenagers, stirring public protests, private threats, criminal charges, and drama-filled school board meetings.
