Two short documentaries about students, schools and the education system are considered frontrunners at this weekend鈥檚 Academy Awards, and both are now available to stream ahead of the official Oscars telecast.
The ABCs of Book Banning, directed by Trish Adlesic, Nazenet Habtezghi and Sheila Nevins, spotlights texts that have been challenged and/or restricted at school libraries across the country in recent years. In several sequences, students address the camera directly, read aloud from the publications, and share their thoughts on the furor surrounding the books.
