Judy Blume is here to save us
One of the brightest highlights of the recent Sundance Film Festival was the debut of the documentary "Judy Blume Forever," a celebration of one of our country's greatest young adult authors. It could have been simply a warm, nostalgic look back at a writer beloved by generations of readers. Instead, the film, which will be on Amazon Prime on April 21, has taken on a disturbing timeliness thanks to a bleak resurgence of censorship and book-banning in America. Blume's state, Florida, has been in the spotlight this week for a new set of book-regulating laws in schools that recall, as CNN's Don Lemon put it, the 1950s.
