Slam Nation (Special Edition)

Before Russell Simmons' Highly acclaimed HBO series "Def Poetry Jam", "Slamnation" captured the cutthroat world of spoken-word poetry with an "energy that pulses, snaps and crackles" (Chicago Tribune). Following slam champion Saul Williams and three other top poets-Beau Sia, muMs Da Schemer, and Jessica Care Moore-as they journey to the National Poetry Slam, "Slamnation" explores "the Super Bowl" of spoken-word poetry. Tensions run high as they join dozens of other artists from across the nation to compete for the championship-and the cash prize. The drama intensifies as rivalries and controversies arise, underscoring larger questions of art versus ego and self-expression versus self-advancement.
