This highly acclaimed doc follows deaf teen,
Aneta Brodski, an Israeli immigrant, who attends
a school for the Deaf in Queens and inhabits the
exuberant world of American Sign Language (ASL)
poetry. As her artistry evolves within her ASL poetry group,
she decides to compete in a spoken word poetry slam.
Filmmaker Judy Lieff chronicles her bold entry into
Manhattan’s spoken-word slam scene, where she meets
Tahani, a hearing Palestinian- American slam poet.
