    Banned Together pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today: book bans and curriculum censorship in public schools.


    This film follows three young women during their senior year of high school as they fight hostile community members and school board officials to reinstate these banned books.  We witness their evolution from local to national activists as they advocate at school board meetings, sit down with national politicians, famous authors and constitutional scholars, and ultimately, speak on stage at the Right to Read Rally during the American Library Association’s annual conference in Chicago.

    Visit https://www.bannedtogetherdoc.com to learn more about the film and watch a preview.

    Join us on Tuesday October 22nd at 6:00pm for a Private, Pre-Release Screening at the Orono Performing Arts Center. Tickets are free.
