SUMMARY:Film Screening:Banned Books Week Film Viewing: Banned Together
DESCRIPTION:Banned Together follows three students and their adult allies as they fight to reinstate 97 books suddenly pulled from their school libraries. As they evolve from local to national activists - meeting with bestselling authors\, politicians\, Constitutional experts\, and more\, the film reveals the dark forces behind the accelerating wave of book bans in the U.S.\n\nFollowing the film\, there will be a live Q&A (over Zoom) with a student and a producer from the film.\n\n\"Banned Together is a must-watch film. At once inspiring\, illuminating\, enraging\, and terrifying\, the film captures the true threats of book banning and the power of young people and authors in fighting for the freedom to read.\" \n-Jonathan Friedman\, PEN America.\n\nThis film is part of the Banned Book Week series through OLLI.\n\n*The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at U-M provides educational opportunities for older adults\, designed by older adults. Membership is intended for all enthusiastic learners aged 50 and older\, regardless of previous education or affiliation with U-M.*
