America Erased
Book bans are steadily growing in schools across the United States.
Usually, books by or about marginalized groups of people are the first ones to go.
To draw attention to this issue, we created a film supplemented by a website and OOH in the form of missing posters showing how book bans are more than just a Black, Brown, Woman, LGBT+ issue.
They’re an attack on our values.
And without our values,
are we who we say we are?
