Co-Presented With The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE)
One of the most inspiring and terrifying documentaries of 2026, THE LIBRARIANS takes us inside the heroic efforts of librarians across the United States to defend freedom of speech and expression as they battle unprecedented challenges on the local, state, and national level in the Trump Era. In this urgent, impassioned film, director Kim A. Snyder introduces us to the unassuming soldiers at the frontlines of aggressive attacks on artistic and personal freedom that are often going unnoticed by the eyes of the Nation.
Discussion to follow with librarians from the Boston area.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) has become the nation’s leading defender of fundamental rights on college campuses through their unique mix of programming, including student and faculty outreach, public education campaigns, individual case advocacy, and policy reform efforts.
