"Lyrical, inspirational and ultra-cool...a brilliant story and a milestone in breaking down stereotypes" - I-D Magazine
"From its utterly brilliant opening, through to its moving finale, 'We Are Poets' is inspirational!" - Sheffield Doc Fest
"Amazing...it's poetry itself. Poetry is an art, filmmaking is an art, it takes great sensitivity to bring them together - this film shows us how it's done!" - Benjamin Zephaniah
WE ARE POETS intimately follows six young poets over the course of one very special year, as they are chosen to represent the UK at Brave New Voices, the most prestigious poetry slam competition in the USA. From their inner city lives to a stage in front of the White House in Washington DC, the poets must prepare for a transformational journey of a lifetime.
Cinematic, honest and deeply personal, WE ARE POETS is a testament to the power of creativity, community and the dynamism of young people. Anyone tempted to dismiss today's youth as politically apathetic better pay heed: here is electrifying evidence to the contrary.
