“Brisk and invigorating.”

“What SLAM possesses is real passion, and that is in short supply in movies these days.”
—The New York Times

From rapper/writer Saul Williams (NEPTUNE FROST), SLAM is a gripping cinematic experience that delves into the raw realities of urban life and the transformative power of words. Set against the backdrop of Washington, D.C., we follow the journey of a young poet navigating the challenges of the justice system. Now newly restored, with a compelling mix of poetry, rhythm, and social commentary.

The March 21 screening of Slam will feature an intro and spoken word poetry, hosted by Austin Poetry Slam.
