Palm Beach County premiere
Documentary, Florida, Coming-of-age
2025, Jennifer Tiexiera and Guy Mossman, USA.
Acclaimed as the opening night film of the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, SPEAK is a dynamic high-stakes journey through the lives, challenges and ambitions of five precocious high school students as they prepare for the world’s largest oratory competition. Florida’s own Esther Oyetunji vies for a rare third national win in this veritable Olympics of the spoken word in which past winners have included Oprah, Brad Pitt, Josh Gad, and Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson. Powerful and persuasive personal essays seem ripped from the soul as the five give reasoned unabashed voice to views on subjects including disability rights, LGBTQ identity, school shootings and family suicide, exhibiting a passion and maturity clearly rooted in deep emotion and personal experience.
“Hopeful and inspiring…celebrates the transformative power of speech and the boundless potential of youth.”—Louisa Moore, Screen Zealots
“Gives voice to the marginalized at a time when it’s needed most.”—David Opie, IndieWire
