Please join us for a private, pre-release screening of Banned Together: The Fight Against Censorship on UNLV’s campus. 

A diverse cast of visionary teenagers, intriguing characters, stirring public protests, private threats, criminal charges, and profanity-laced school board meetings: this is the world of the explosive new feature documentary, Banned Together.

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

We witness the evolution of three young women in their senior year of high school grow 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.

As we follow their activist journey, Banned Together illuminates the radical political forces vying for control of public education and the nationwide resistance to their efforts.

The screening is free and open to the public, and is sponsored by the UNLV Department of Interdisciplinary, Gender, and Ethnic Studies; UNLV Film Department; UNLV Division of Student Affairs - Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities; and UNLV Division of Diversity Initiatives. 

A Q&A with the film's producer and a local Las Vegas librarian and anti-censorship activist will follow the screening.
