This year's festival is book-ended by two documentaries: "Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am," a deep dive into the celebrated author’s life and work, And "Don’t Be Nice," which follows a team of young New York City slam poets on their journey to the 2016 National Slam Poetry Championships.
Guests:
Lisa Simmons – Festival Director at the
Roxbury International Film Festival.
Nikhil Melnechuk – New York-based poet, actor and filmmaker and the producer of Don’t Be Nice.
