It’s about the joy of being young\, and the pain of g rowing up. It’s about speaking out\, making noise\, and finding your voi ce.\n\nIt also just happens to be about poetry.\n\nEvery year\, more than six hundred teenagers from over sixty Chicago area schools gather for the world’s largest youth poetry slam\, a competition known as "Louder Than a Bomb". Founded in 2001\, Louder Than a Bomb is the only event of its kin d in the country—a youth poetry slam built from the beginning around tea ms. Rather than emphasize individual poets and performances\, the structur e of Louder Than a Bomb demands that kids work collaboratively with their peers\, presenting\, critiquing\, and rewriting their pieces. To succeed\, teams have to create an environment of mutual trust and support. For many kids\, being a part of such an environment—in an academic context—is life-changing.\n\nLOUDER THAN A BOMB chronicles the stereotype-confounding stories of four teams as they prepare for and compete in the 2008 event. By turns hopeful and heartbreaking\, the film captures the tempestuous liv es of these unforgettable kids\, exploring the ways writing shapes their w orld\, and vice versa. This is not "high school poetry" as we often think of it. This is language as a joyful release\, irrepressibly talented teena gers obsessed with making words dance. How and why they do it—and the co mmunity they create along the way—is the story at the heart of this insp iring film.\n\nA preview for the film can be found here: http://www.youtub e.com/watch?v=81hXGdFF6TQ \n\nAfter the film\, there will be a condensed\, 2-round poetry slam featuring some of our own Western talent. \n\nTHIS WI LL BE AMAZING. \n\nThis event is sponsored by AS Ethnic Student Center and the AS Social Issues Resource Center.
