Committing Poetry Trailer

Committing Poetry in Times of War, winner of the 2007 Best Human Rights Film Award at the Taos Mountain Festival, is a visually stunning glance at a community?s response to teachers fired for refusing to censor their students, police brutality at peaceful protests, and enforced "free speech zones" - a nation at war abroad and with its people. With its "blood pounding" slam poetry, the film was nominated for Best Documentary in South Africa?s Everglades International Film Festival, won the 2007 Poetry Film of the Year award, and is screening worldwide.
