This popular HBO documentary follows four poets as they journey to the National Poetry Slam, where the winner will pocket a sizeable amount of money and claim the prestigious crown of Slam Champion. All the nervous energy and excitement of the four contestants–Beau Si, muMs da Schemer, Saul Williams, and Care Moore–are captured on camera by director Paul Devlin in some intense rhyming battles and bitter rivalries. A fascinating precursor to Russell Simmons’s DEF POETRY JAM, SLAM NATION highlights the spoken-word poetry format as it blossoms and grows among a whole new generation of kids. The talent the contestants possess is self-evident throughout, and many of the subjects Devlin follows went on to bigger and better things, with Williams putting in a memorable performance in Marc Levin’s SLAM, and muMs da Schemer appearing in HBO’s OZ.
