Summary A team of young New York City Slam Poets finds its voice as it competes for the National Championship during the summer of 2016.
Directed By: Max Powers
Top Cast
A finely observed documentary.
When these artists get to the point where they are completely unconstrained, it conveys a freedom and strength that surprises not only the audience but the performers as well.
The documentary, largely alternating between scenes of the poets engaging in freewheeling conversations and performing their works, comes to feel talky and claustrophobic at times (cinematographer Peter Eliot Buntaine keeps his camera uncomfortably close). But it gains urgency as it goes along.
