PEAK focuses on five high school students as they prepare for the national championships in public speaking.  Against a backdrop of social and political turmoil, these teens rise with fire, wit, and unshakable humanity — delivering a masterclass in courage, conviction, and the kind of hope that refuses to be silenced.  SPEAK captures the passion, joy and courage of unforgettable teens using their voices to change hearts and minds. This film is the perfect antidote for these fraught times in America – intense, funny, and most of all, hopeful.

“Speak.” is so rousing and audience-friendly, it plays like the nonfiction equivalent of “Bend It Like Beckham” or “A League of Their Own.” – Variety Magazine

"It’s vital that storytellers like those found here continue striving for a platform and give voice to the marginalized whose own stories are so often drowned out in an endless sea of media chatter". – IndieWire

"Carried by its charismatic young competitive orators, SPEAK. is a film that will make you dare to hope for the future."  – Rebecca Schankula, Traverse City Film Festival
