Following the story of Leeds Young Authors as they prepare to compete in 'Brave New Voices' - an American slam competition. Featuring appearances from Saul Williams, Joshua Bennet, and many other leading international spoken word artists. 'We Are Poets' is an amazing record of spoken word and what can happen when you give young people a platform to make their voices heard.
