When lawmakers seek to review a list of books, librarians find themselves on the frontlines of a national battle. Across the U.S., librarians face the impact of uniting against library collection standards that include restrictions on race-related and LGBTQIA+ content. Drawing on historical context, The Librarians, directed by Kim A. Snyder, explores the broader implications for education and public life.

This is a space for Americans to share documentary films or for anyone to share docs that might interest Americans. I created the community in order to avoid overwhelming the other people of the world present on more general instances with US politics.

There are no hard and fast rules for formatting the title of your post, but I recommend including at least the title of the doc, year of release, running time, and possibly a description of the documentary.

The following content types are not considered documentaries: TV news reports/shows, articles, interviews, scripted content, amateur home videos, biopics, promotional material, vlogs, and any other content at the discretion of the mods.

The community's icon is a cropped frame from a time-lapse sequence in Koyaanisqatsi.
