The documentary features interviews by spoken word artists Melissa Ridge (Boundless & Bare and BND Magazine), Hazel Hogan (Being Earnest Podcast), Kasey Shelley (Ealaín Open Mic) to learn about their poetic journeys, as well as Lewis Kenny, who as of the making of the documentary had retired from the scene, provides some contrast, but the message remains the same: spoken word is a powerful medium for emotional truth.
