synopsis

Stop Talking. Start Speaking.

Five bold young voices go on a high-stakes journey to conquer the Super Bowl of public speaking.  As the world teeters on a razor’s edge, these teens rise with fire and heartfelt humanity – offering a masterclass in courage, conviction, and the kind of hope that refuses to be silenced.

Trailer

"Speak.’ is so rousing and audience-friendly, it plays like the nonfiction equivalent of ‘Bend It Like Beckham’ or ‘A League of Their Own."

“Speak.” is a joyful recalibration about the power of dreaming, how sometimes the first step towards envisioning and bringing about a better world is to try and speak it into existence.”

“Talk about a film that speaks to the moment!”

“... A must-watch for anyone looking to be inspired by the power of young voices. This is a documentary that not only speaks—it resonates.”
