ABCs of Book Banning

In recent years, more than 2,500 books have been removed from school districts around the US, labeled as banned, restricted, or challenged, and made unavailable to millions of students. The themes targeted are the usual scapegoats of the American Right—LGBTQ+ issues, Black History, and women’s empowerment. The purpose of the banning is to impede future generations from developing their thoughts and opinions on critical social issues.

A new documentary film, The ABCs of Book Banning, presents the voices of the impacted parties, both young and old, and inspires hope for the future through the insights of inquisitive youthful minds.

The film is available online via Paramount Plus. A trailer is here.
