From Directors Jordan W. Barrow and Matt Edwards, and Executive Producer Rosario Dawson, OUR WORDS COLLlDE is a feature documentary foIlowing the Iives of five teenage spoken word poets in Los AngeIes. A coming of age story, the film documents the poets as they navigate their finaI year of high schooI, expIoring many of the chaIlenges facing young people today -- incIuding identity and expression, transitioning into adulthood and overcoming mental heaIth issues. The film seamIessly blends authentic verite scenes and intimate footage, seIf-shot by the poets, with stylized poetry performances and animation -- creating a rich tapestry of mixed mediums that bring the poet's stories to life. While the fiIm is an expIoration of how poetry has impacted the Iives of these young people, it's uItimately a coming of age story. lt's a film about young people finding their voices, and having the courage to share their message -- one that feeIs very reIevant, and reIatable, in today's world. |
