"Louder Than A Bomb" A documentary film by Greg Jacobs and Jon Siskel

Louder Than a Bomb tells the story of four Chicago high school poetry teams as they prepare for and compete in the world's largest youth slam. By turns hopeful and heartbreaking, the film captures the tempestuous lives of these unforgettable kids, exploring the ways writing shapes their world, and vice versa. While the topics they tackle are often deeply personal, what they put into their poems—and what they get out of them—is universal: the defining work of finding one's voice.

Although these SLAM competition films seem to be all over the place, this one looks really cool. Look for it!
