Filmvisning: The Librarians

I anledning Forbudte bøker-uka viser vi den amerikanske dokumentarfilmen «The Librarians» (2025).
I filmen møter vi bibliotekarer som kjemper for ytringsfriheten og demokratiet i et stadig mer polarisert USA.
Filmens skapere skriver dette på sin nettside:
"Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights. As they well know, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities.
In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQia+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale."
Regi: Kim A. Snyder. Varighet: 1t32min.
Gratisbilletter kan hentes på Bekkestua fra 24. september.
