InTheWakeTV is proud to highlight *Speak*, a standout in this year’s U.S. Documentary Competition at Sundance! 🎬 This heartfelt and electrifying film by directors Jennifer Tiexiera and Guy Mossman takes us behind the scenes of one of the world’s most prestigious public speaking competitions.
Follow the journey of five talented high school orators as they craft spellbinding spoken word performances. From raising prized pigs to navigating TikTok fame, dreamy boyfriends, and family struggles, these young competitors manage the pressure of the stage while tackling urgent social issues like anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and school shootings.
Blending levity, ambition, and emotional depth, *Speak* showcases the resilience and brilliance of the next generation of leaders. This is more than a competition—it’s a powerful reminder of how art and voice can inspire change.
✨ *Speak* is one of our top picks at #Sundance2025, and it’s a must-watch for anyone who believes in the power of words.
Follow us for more Sundance picks and behind-the-scenes coverage! 🖤
