From the ACLU, this is at Liberty.

I'm Emerson Sykes, a staff attorney here at the ACLU and your host.

This week, we have a special treat.

On Monday night, we recorded a live episode with Olivia Wilde and Katie Silberman,

the director and writer of the new movie Booksmart, which will be released nationwide tomorrow, May 24th.

We hope you enjoy this special episode, taped live at the Brooklyn Public Library.

Good evening. Thanks very much for coming out. So for those of you are not familiar

with At Liberty, it's the ACLU's weekly podcast where we have conversations about civil liberties,

civil rights, and occasionally really awesome progressive movies.

So we're really, really thrilled tonight to have as our guests, Olivia Wilde and Katie Silberman,

to talk about their new movie, Book Smart.

You may know Olivia from her roles on television in shows such as the OC and House and many others,

as well as her role in the Oscar-winning film, Her, among many, many other films. Booksmart is Olivia's directorial debut, and we're

particularly proud of her at the ACLU because she's also a board member of the ACLU of Southern

California.

Thank you. member of the ACLU of Southern California. Olivia is also an artist and activist active on a number of important causes that we'll

talk about a bit later.

Katie Silberman is the writer and producer of Book Smart and has also written for TV shows and movies including

Set It Up and Isn't It Romantic? Olivia and Katie, thank you very much for being with us.

So happy to be here. Much for having us.

So I've had the pleasure of seeing the movie and I can honestly tell you it's really, really, really amazing.

And so I wanted all of you to have some of that experience, at least.
