Story: 2024 Oscar Nominee for Best Documentary Short
In recent years, more than 2,500 books have been removed from school districts around the US, labelled as banned, restricted, or challenged, and made unavailable to millions of students. By no accident, the themes targeted are the usual scapegoats of the American Right - LGBTQ issues, Black History, and women’s empowerment - impeding the power of future generations to develop their own thoughts and opinions on critical social issues. By weaving together a lyrical montage of young readers and authors, this documentary reveals the voices of the impacted parties, and inspires hope for the future through the profound insights of inquisitive youthful minds.
