Slam
Raymond Joshua, a young black performance poet, is arrested and imprisoned for a petty marijuana charge in a Washington, D.C. jail. Although the confining prison walls do little to shield him from danger, it is within those walls that Raymond establishes his identity, strength, and voice and meets a prison gang leader and a prison writing teacher, Lauren Bell. Bell inspires Raymond to use the power of creative expression to free himself from the struggles and demise of the Black male as another victim of the judicial system.

Reviews
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
