Review of To Be Heard






One would think of poems, to be just a regular piece of writing. But this film makes it so much past that. Before I saw this film I thought poems were just any size paragraph, that has to be about one thing. They showed how a poem can be like a story, it can be about everything. They put their feelings into reading the poem. They talk about reality and the truth. The B-rolls were excellent, it really helped put the mood into the film. I love how they were able to express how they feel through poetry, and writing.

The Poem de Alia !

You know how a teacher tells you no cheating, or no peeking at other people's tests? Imagine if the test was like your lover; whom you loved very much. And if you were caught cheating, you'd get a zero. Would you still cheat?
Test

I am your test.
This is your test.
No talking
No looking around
No questions
Just do the test.
I don't understand
Wait.
Why?
Why did you look at the other person's test?
You cheated.
You're a cheater.
You cheated on me.
