| Summary: | "Director Stephane de Freitas' documentary follows a group of college students partaking in an annual oratory competition in the suburbs of Paris. The French have always had a way with words, which is why the annual college concours Eloquentia, or eloquence competitions, seem to have the same status there that the Final Four does in the U.S. But not everyone is a born orator, nor are they necessarily given the tools to express themselves -- especially if one comes from a family where French isn't even the first language. In the rabble-rousing documentary Speak Up (A voix haute - La Force de la parole), director Stephane de Freitas focuses on a group of mixed race students who partake in the Eloquentia contest for the first time. Most of them have never spoken in public, but by the time the film is over, they could give Charles de Gaulle a run for his money."--IMDb. |
