Aneta Brodski is amazing. She also happens to be deaf. She is introduced to American Sign Language Poetry in her high school and boldly enters the Spoken Word slam scene in New York City. In a wonderful coincidence, Aneta, an Israeli immigrant, meets Tahani, a hearing Palestinian slam poet. The two women embark on a collaboration to create a performance duet - a new form of slam poetry that speaks to both the hearing and the Deaf.
