This documentary shows a great and diverse selection of the rising stars of poetry in Washington, DC. The individual poems vary in quality of writing and some of the poets did not have good delivery skills.
The poems by Laila Shareen, Jessica Priego and David Ferreira are my favorites. The later was very moving and I found myself immersed in the plot. Its about someone walking in Dupont Circle and discovering the hidden ability of humans to fly ... and the collapse of the world economy that follows. This is originally a poem by David Vacca, a college friend of David Ferreira's, and can be found on his website. Try googling it.
Overall, I am pleased at the generally solid performances, writing, and film quality of this documentary.
