From the anarchic beginnings to the phenomenon of the masses - the documentary about the history of poetry slam links archive material with the best slam clips and accompanies interesting people such as the current stars of the scene and Marc Kelly Smith, the charismatic founder of the genre. He, the construction worker from Chicago, found the literary scene so boring and elitist that he organized the first slam in 1984, with rules that have continued to this day. In Germany, thanks to passionate organizers like Wolf Hogekamp and gifted Slammer like Andy Strauss and Sebastian23, the format finally developed more successfully than anywhere else
