“Librarians are badass.” 💪 “Librarians are SUPERHEROES.” 🦸‍♂️ “I want to be a librarian when I grow up now.” 📚 @letterboxd audiences are wowed by the #FReadom fighters in the film!

Our award-winning festival journey has been incredible, but nothing will compare to the opportunity to screen the film in front of hundreds of librarians this weekend! We will screen the film twice in Philadelphia on Friday 6/27 at the @americanlibraryassociation ’s Annual Conference and a community screening with @_everylibrary_ . Both screenings will have filmmaker and film participant Q&A’s and it will be an honor to meet you all as we join you in the fight against #bookbanning.

As our team returns from our journeys to the UK and through Arkansas, California, and Kansas — this Best Documentary Award from @bfffestival and jurors words leave us heartened and invigorated that our librarians’ — the canaries in the coal mine — message is reaching folks from many different walks of life. That the urgency we felt to share this, is being felt by audiences. THANK YOU to the jury for this incredible honor. And thank you @geenadavisorg and the Bentonville team for a great experience in Arkansas.

With gratitude!
