Description
Over 2,000 books have been removed from school districts in the U.S.
The ABCs of Book Banning, directed by Sheila Nevins in her inaugural debut, follows the human toll the future will pay for depriving children of their right to read and learn about a complex world.
Interviews with children and authors shed light on this ongoing dangerous precedent.
