    Teen Aneta Brodski, an Israeli immigrant, attends a school for the Deaf in Queens and inhabits the exuberant world of American Sign Language (ASL) poetry. Filmmaker Judy Lieff chronicles Aneta’s bold entry into Manhattan’s spoken-word slam scene, where she meets Tahani, a hearing Palestinian-American slam poet. The two collaborate on a powerful duet that mirrors the complex worlds they share. Centerpiece film. Massachusetts Theatrical Premiere In Person: Director Judy Lieff and film subject Aneta Brodski Special Slam poetry performance: Ayisha Knight-Shaw, Deaf poet signing in ASL and Boston teen spoken word artists.
