TO BE HEARD (2010)

TO BE HEARD (2010)

In memory of Roland Legiardi Laura, who passed away earlier this year. Three New York teenagers find themselves profoundly changed by a radical poetry workshop. Putting pen to paper they’re able to imagine a future where fathers aren’t in jail, mothers aren’t abusive and college isn’t something you only see on TV. Can their words turn dreams into reality? This celebration of great teachers, poetry and selfempowerment won DOC NYC’s inaugural Metropolis Jury Prize and Audience Award in 2010.

This free screening is co-presented with the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment as part of 50 Years of Magic, celebrating 50 years of film and TV production in New York City. Tickets available online (service fee applies) or in-person at the box office.
