As book bans surge across the U.S., librarians find themselves on the front lines of a growing battle over free expression and democracy. In this urgent and deeply human documentary by the director of Us Kids, these unexpected heroes push back against efforts to censor stories about race, gender, and identity. Facing harassment, legal threats, and hostile communities, they stand firm in defense of every child’s right to read. What begins as a quiet profession becomes a powerful act of resistance.
