Mario Z @MarioZ Dec 22 Documentaries like this tell hidden stories, those that usually go unnoticed. Black and Brown Poets presents stories that seek to preserve the identity of diverse cultures; it is visually rich and every piece has its own personality. See more aise q @r4isemaiz3 Dec 5 Captivating visuals and sound. Incredibly detail oriented and inspiring. The ability to share a collective conversation increases tenfold when passion is leading! See more Christine Y @Yuodelis Dec 5 Stunning cinematography and editing of very moving interviews with some of our most prominent US latino and black poets. This series speaks to the soul of our BIPOC nation. It should be expanded to include other poets and shown to school children, college students and the general public. See more Read all reviews
