New PBS documentary Deaf Jam.

Aneta Brodski, a deaf teen living in New York City, discovers the power of American Sign Language poetry. As she prepares to be one of the first deaf poets to compete in a spoken-word slam, her journey leads to an unexpected collaboration.

Oh Gods!  I watched this!  Best. Movie. Ever!

The poetry is such a joy/so powerful.

I’m trying to figure out how to watch it again/get it for my local library.

(the palestine and israel tags are because the movie itself follows a palestinian and an israeli signing poet)

Where can you watch it besides the preview?
