Broken Song – Trailer

Director: Claire Dix
Starring: Willa Lee, James Costello, GI  and Dean Scurry
Release Date: Nov 15 (selected cinemas only)

Hey everyone, check out this trailer for Broken Song, Winner of the JDIFF Audience Award 2013 and the Dublin Critics Circle Discovery Award.

Broken Song tells the story of GI, Costello and Willa Lee, street poets, hip-hop artists and songwriters from north Dublin. For these young men self-expression in the form of poetry, rap and song has become a spiritual experience. Their aim is simply to articulate the chaos that surrounds them and to fight it with their words and voices alone. Along the way it has become their identity, their religion and, as they claim themselves, they are its high priests.

In the end, the place where they live and their words are one and the same, constantly in flux, full of darkness and light. It is proof that these suburbs – that have bred darkness, murder and hate – have also inspired poetry and these unlikely artists are using words alone to fight back.

Broken Song will be screening at the IFI from Nov 15, and at Axis Ballymun from Nov 27th
