Speak. (2025)

趣闻

Speak is a 2025 American documentary film directed by Jennifer Tiexiera and Guy Mossman. It follows five students who prepare for and participate in high school speech and debate competitions, specifically the 2024 NSDA National tournament in Des Moines, Iowa. The students' lives and speeches cover a range of topics from Anti-LGBTQ legislation to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

Background

The project, involving Mossman at first, began development in 2020 through the COVID-19 pandemic. It was originally meant to be a series but soon pivoted to a feature film format later in 2021. By 2023, Tiexiera joined the production as Mossman's co-director:Jen and I wanted to make a film that transcended the 'competition doc' genre in a way that felt immersive and intimate in the lives of our teenage subjects outside of competition.
