About the film
"Banned Together pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today: book basns and curriculum censorship in public schools. Banned Together follows three young women in Beaufort, South Carolina, during their senior year of high school as they fight hostile community members and school board officials to reinstate 97 books that were banned from school libraries."
