Narrated by Meryl Streep, the documentary "Out Of Print" illuminates the turbulent, exciting, and somewhat controversial evolutionary journey of the written word in the digital age. Is the book as we know it dead? Is this question relevant in our always-on, digital world?
The film sets out on a quest to find out what the written word, physical books, and the privilege of instant access to information at any time mean to us both as individuals and as a society. Featuring opinions from thought leaders, parents, students, educators and scientists, as well as visits to libraries, book clubs, classrooms and corporate offices, this interesting and well-balanced documentary clarifies how the digital revolution is changing everything about the printed word – and changing us.
A film by Vivienne Roumani. Produced by Journeyman Pictures Ltd. Distributed by American Public Television.
