60 min

Available until 06/08/2026

In a divided USA, what children read has become a burning issue and a culture war between progressive and conservative America. School libraries are the unlikely battleground for this war: Some want to ban authors they view as corrupting their children, others view this ban as reactionary censorship. This documentary focuses on the ideological fault lines of American society at the presidential election.
