Speak.
From directors Jennifer Tiexiera and Guy Mossman (Feels Good Man), Speak. follows five of the nation’s top-ranked high school orators as they prepare for the National Speech & Debate Tournament.
Over the course of a year, Esther, Sam, Noah, Mfaz, and Noor balance everyday teenage life—raising livestock, navigating TikTok fame, managing family expectations, and falling in love—with the immense challenge of crafting performances that tackle urgent issues such as school shootings and disability rights.
With warmth and empathy, the film captures both the intensity of competition and the transformative force of storytelling. Speak. is an inspiring portrait of a generation finding its voice and demanding to be heard.
