From Directors Jordan W. Barrow and Matt Edwards, and Executive Producer Rosario Dawson, OUR WORDS COLLIDE is a feature documentary following the lives 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 school, exploring many of the challenges facing young people today - including identity and expression, transitioning into adulthood and overcoming mental health issues. The film seamlessly blends 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. While the film is an exploration of how poetry has impacted the lives of these young people, it's ultimately a coming of age story. It's a film about young people finding their voices, and having the courage to share their message - one that feels very relevant, and relatable, in today's world.
