12/3 Screening: Committing Poetry in Times of War

The film "Committing Poetry in Times of War" will be screened Sunday, December 3, 2006 at 7:45 PM at the NM Film Museum (former Jean Cocteau Cinema) in Santa Fe as part of the NM Film Expo of the Santa Fe Film Festival.

This independently made NM feature documentary film tells the story of how poets, educators and outraged citizens rallied in support of the Rio Rancho High School student Slam Poetry Team and its coach, Bill Nevins, when the team was shut down in early 2003 at the time of the start of the Iraq War.
