InFocus Highlights a Creative Resolution (Louder Than a Bomb)

Louder Than a Bomb features wordsmiths, poets and storytellers armed with - 

A Mic. A Stage. A Pen. A Page.

Every year, teenagers across the country gather in various cities for the world's largest youth poetry slam, a competition known as "Louder Than a Bomb".  This event was a documentary film launched in 2001 in Chicago and the only one of its kind.  Youth teams work collaboratively with their peers, presenting, critiquing and rewriting their pieces in an academic context.  Cincinnati is one of the host cities giving voice and a platform to today's youth in the Queen City.
