This was an excellent documentary.The editing and sound score delivered this film to me with power and subtlety at the same time. Capturing what ,at it's heart expresses itself yet I felt as if I was there in a very personal way. I recommend it to everyone who draws inspiration from films, writing and the power words have to lift us up or expose our emotions to the light. There is so much it offers, for me more than one viewing is a requirement.

Art in its rawest, best form...seen from deep inside. Excellent film making choices, from form to music to cinematography. Even pushes the slam to new and relevant meaning.

See it, you won't be sorry, it will make you re-examine yourself.

In this film we are honored to be brought into the creative lives and processes of some truly amazing slam poets. Their coach, Lauren, pushes and supports each poet to get to the heart of their work, to keep writing past their emotional stop signs. The performances of the Bowery Club's work is a cut above the other teams in its powerful impact. A must-see film that would be useful in high school and college classes.
