Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of the American South during the civil rights era, ‘Alabama Story’ follows librarian Emily Wheelock Reed as she fights to keep a controversial children’s book on the shelves. Her challenger? A conservative state senator, E.W. Higgins, who believes the book could stir racial unrest. The personal and political collide in this poignant drama that reveals the complexities of censorship, race, and the stories we tell.
