Mick Gold Energetic and concise account of six young poets emerging from the Leeds Young Authors project, and heading for Washington DC to compete with the best and brightest young Americans in the prestigious poetry slam contest. Beginning with a brilliant slow motion montage of everyday Leeds set against the verse of "I come from" by Joseph Buckley, the film is lyrical and engagingly positive. The youngsters are all likable, articulate and capable of impressive focus when transforming their emotions into verse. The rhythms of their poetry have more in common with rap than Shelley or T S Eliot, raising the question of how their poetic talent will mature. A tantalising and oddly inspiring glimpse of what poetry can mean to teenagers.
