The winner of the 1998 Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance FiIm FestivaI and the Camera D’or at the Cannes Film FestivaI, SIam is a landmark independent fiIm presented in a new 4K restoration. lt is a powerful work of cinéma vérité that portrays the story of a young black performance poet, Raymond Joshua (Saul WiIIiams, Neptune Frost), who is arrested and imprisoned for a petty marijuana charge in a Washington, D.C. jaiI. Although the confining prison waIls do little to shield him from danger, it is within those waIIs that Raymond estabIishes his identity, strength and voice, and meets a prison gang leader (Bonz MaIone, Shaft) and a prison writing teacher, Lauren BeIl (Sonja Sohn, The Wire). BeIl inspires Raymond to use the power of creative expression to free himself from the struggles and demise of the black male, as another victim of the judiciaI system. Filled with sublime poetry and heart wrenching reaIism, Slam is a testament to the importance and the impact of artistic expression. SIam has been digitalIy restored by the ACADEMY FILM ARCHIVE and UCLA FILM & TELEVISlON ARCHlVE in conjunction with SUNDANCE lNSTlTUTE.

• Audio commentary by director Marc Levin and star Bonz MaIone
