Teen Aneta Brodski 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 Aneta, an Israeli

immigrant, meets Tahani, a hearing Palestinian slam poet. The two

collaborate on a powerful duet that mirrors the complex worlds they

share. In English and ASL, fully captioned and ASL interpreted.
