Windsor Park Branch Library
5833 Westminster Dr.

Please join us for a screening of Deaf Jam part of the Community Cinema
series in partnership with KLRU-TV. National poetry slams for youth have
been gaining momentum but few, if any, deaf teens have ever been included in
these contests. In Deaf Jam a group of New York City deaf teens reveal their
passions, frustrations, and senses of humor as they discover American Sign
Language poetry and eventually step into the world of the youth poetry slams
with their hearing peers. After the screening, lively discussions bring
citizens and organizations together to encourage dialogue and action around
important and timely social issues. Light refreshments provided.
