Impact in Focus: Screening & Reception (Spokane, WA)
You're invited to join fellow UW alums as the University of Washington Information School hosts a special screening event featuring "The Librarians."
The synopsis: "The Librarians," which premiered at Sundance and continued on to SXSW and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, explores the urgent moment we find ourselves in. As an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy, flanked by concerned community members and young readers. "The Librarians" is a chilling cautionary tale and rallying cry for freedom — told through the personal experiences of librarians under siege and the everyday patriots who join their ranks in defense of the books.
After the movie, stick around for a lively reception hosted by the Information School. Light bites and swag provided. Beer and wine available for purchase. All ages welcome!
