The Librarians

The Morges regional group of Amnesty International Switzerland invites you to a screening of Kim A. Snyder’s documentary The Librarians (FIFDH 2026). The screening will be followed by a discussion on librarians’ fight against censorship. Admission is free.

d States, thousands of books are being removed from schools and public libraries. Driven by conservative groups, this offensive targets LGBTQIA+ narratives and works addressing racial issues. By following librarians targeted by threats, lawsuits and the criminalisation of their profession, the film exposes a nationwide strategy to control ideas and pays tribute to those fighting to defend what remains of democracy in their country.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with:

• Marina Jovanovic, Cultural mediator at Bibliomedia Suisse romande
• Sébastien Chauvin, Sociologist, Associate Professor at the University of Lausanne

Moderator: Nadia Boehlen, Spokesperson for Amnesty International Switzerland
