About Banned Together:
Banned Together follows three students as they fight to reinstate 97 books suddenly pulled from their school libraries. As they evolve from local to national activists the film reveals the dark forces behind the accelerating wave of book bans in the U.S.
Some of the people who are in the film, woven around the story about the student activists: Congressman Jamie Raskin; bestselling and banned authors like Jodi Picoult, Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, Juno Dawson, Erika L. Sánchez, and Ellen Hopkins; First Amendment warriors like Jonathan Friedman from PEN America and Deborah Caldwell-Stone from the ALA‘s Office for Intellectual Freedom; Prof. Justin Hansford, the Exec Dir of the Thurgood Marshall Civil Rights Center at Howard University School of Law; a senior investigative researcher from Media Matters for America who’s done in-depth reporting about Moms for Liberty since early 2021; organizations fighting on the front lines in Florida; Maurice Cunningham, author of Dark Money and the Politics of School Privatization; and IL Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias who wrote the first anti-book-ban legislation in the country . . . to name just a few!
