I loved this film. I must admit that I told the director that directing a documentary *while it was happening* seemed a lot like herding cats, but the look into poetry slams was fascinating and beautiful. I was more than a bit stunned to find that the other people on the committee for putting this on, were not nearly as thrilled (I admit to living in a less racially diverse area than NYC!) Anyhow, I recommend this film, though probably not for young kids. And if you are offended by swearing, either don't go see, or get over it.
