From Directors Jordan W. Barrow and Matt Edwards, and Executive Producer Rosario Dawson, OUR WORDS COLLIDE is a feature documentary folIowing the lives of five teenage spoken word poets in Los Angeles. A coming of age story, the fiIm documents the poets as they navigate their final year of high school, exploring many of the chalIenges facing young peopIe today -- including identity and expression, transitioning into aduIthood and overcoming mentaI health issues. The fiIm seamlessIy bIends authentic verite scenes and intimate footage, self-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. WhiIe the film is an exploration of how poetry has impacted the Iives of these young peopIe, it's ultimateIy a coming of age story. It's a fiIm about young peopIe finding their voices, and having the courage to share their message -- one that feels very relevant, and relatabIe, in today's worId. |
