About this Event
"Banned Together pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today: book bans and curriculum censorship in public schools.
A diverse cast of visionary teenagers and intriguing characters, stirring public protests, private threats, criminal charges and profanity-laced school board meetings: this is the world of the explosive new feature documentary, Banned Together.
Banned Together follows three young women in Beaufort, SC during their senior year of high school as they fight hostile community members and school board officials to reinstate 97 books that were banned from school libraries. We witness their evolution from local to national activists as they advocate at school board meetings, sit down with national politicians, famous authors and constitutional scholars, and ultimately, speak on stage at the Right To Read Rally during the American Library Association’s annual conference in Chicago.
As we follow their activist journey, Banned Together shines a light on the radical political forces who are vying for control of public education and the nationwide resistance to their efforts."
This private, pre-release screening of Banned Together is hosted by Free to Read Spartanburg County with the help of generous donors.
