Can language transform lives? In To Be Heard three Bronx teens search for their voices. Karina, Pearl, and Anthony are precariously balanced on the edge. Inspired by three teachers in a radical poetry workshop, can they write their own life stories, imagining a future where fathers aren’t in jail, mothers aren’t abusive and college is a place you awaken to every morning rather than dream about each night. Their lives are closely tracked by a dedicated filmmaking team, who celebrates the value of great teachers, poetry, and the power that comes from writing your own life story.
