The Librarians

With Movie Matters, we present the brand new and very urgent documentary THE LIBRARIANS (2025). Just when we thought book burnings and censorship were a thing of the past, director Kim A. Snyder reveals an alarming new reality in the USA.

The film follows librarians from states such as Texas, Louisiana, and Florida who are taking a stand. They fight against conservative groups that want to ban books on topics such as race, gender, and sexuality. What initially began as a local debate in the library has developed into an essential battle for democracy and freedom of information. A fascinating portrait of individuals who put their jobs and sometimes their safety on the line to safeguard the right to read.
