Documentary Screening and Panel Discussion at ARK, Cliftonville's Cultural Space
7pm - 10pm
Join ARK for an evening screening of The Librarians (2025). This award-winning feature documentary film is directed by Academy Award nominee Kim A. Snyder and executive produced by Sarah Jessica Parker. The film explores the targeted political polarisation and unprecedented wave of book banning sweeping across public schools and libraries in the United States. They are now seeing this wave of censorship crash through the U.K.
Following the film, we'll be joined by Author Dean Atta, Naomi Evans from Everyday Racism, banned book collector Conor Sansby and Margate Queer Library’s Sé M. Nomyo. Chaired by Lennie Martin, this panel will examine what the documentary's themes mean closer to home - with growing pressures on free expression and access to information in the UK, they will discuss why the fight against censorship has never felt more urgent. Come and join the conversation.
