• Summary:"This documentary takes you on a journey through the many forms of spoken word, including dub, slam and lyric poetry, performance poetry, and storytelling. The film addresses issues of immigrant experience, inner city issues, and cultural identity, including black and aboriginal points of view. You'll get an insider's look at the Words Aloud Festival ? performances, interviews, and the story of Adam, an 18-year-old student who begins to find his own voice. You'll discover what makes a poet, what drives them to create, what's most difficult about the writing life, and what compels them to continue. You'll see how a small town creates a vibrant poetic community."--McNabb Connolly website.
