Louder Than a Bomb
A documentary film by
Greg Jacobs and Jon Siskel
Louder Than a Bomb tells the story of four Chicago high school poetry teams as they prepare for and compete in the world's largest youth slam. By turns hopeful and heartbreaking, the film captures the tempestuous lives of these unforgettable kids, exploring the ways writing shapes their world, and vice versa. While the topics they tackle are often deeply personal, what they put into their poems—and what they get out of them—is universal: the defining work of finding one's voice.
Louder Than a Bomb premiered at the Cleveland International Film Festival in March 2010, where it won both the Roxanne T. Mueller Audience Choice Award for best film and the Greg Gund Memorial Standing Up Film Competition for films that celebrate social justice and activism. An official selection of the DocuWeeks Theatrical Documentary Showcase, Louder Than a Bomb will also screen at the Woods Hole Film Festival in August, and was an official selection of the Little Rock Film Festival in June.
