If you don’t learn how to write your own life story, someone else will write it for you.
Can language change our lives? Three Bronx teens balanced on the edge of hardship use their words to try to answer this question in To Be Heard, a feature documentary directed and produced by Roland Legiardi-Laura, Edwin Martinez, Deborah Shaffer, and Amy Sultan. Inspired by three teachers in a radical poetry workshop, teenagers Karina, Pearl and Anthony write their own life stories in which their goals aren’t just dreams.
Fresh off a New York and Los Angeles run as a part of DocuWeeks, To Be Heard will be opening to the public in Los Angeles on November 4 at the Laemmle Music Hall Theater.
