From Directors Jordan W. Barrow and Matt Edwards, and Executive Producer Rosario Dawson, OUR WORDS COLLIDE is a feature documentary following the Iives of five teenage spoken word poets in Los Angeles. A coming of age story, the film documents the poets as they navigate their final year of high schooI, exploring many of the challenges facing young peopIe today -- including identity and expression, transitioning into aduIthood and overcoming mental health issues. The fiIm seamlessly 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 lives 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. |
