Slam，大致可以翻译成“诗喃”，对大多数人来说或许是一个陌生的名词。这是一场艺术运动，起源于1986年，美国诗人Marc Smith希望能让诗从精英主义的高阁走下来，让诗歌的阅读更普及并且更加有趣，诗喃由此诞生。诗喃创作者不需要考虑统一的格律，只需要根据自己对生活的观察和感悟用他们喜欢的文字和风格表达出来，这一种超越，让诗喃本身承载着自由、开放、平等、分享的意味。
如何进入这个自由狂放又诗意的世界？导演Marc Levin在《Slam》这部作品中，从黑人街头文化、帮派文化、说唱文化（注：诗喃不是说唱，而是比说唱更自由的形式），进行切入，讲述了一个通过自我思考和自由表达，最终达至自我发现、自我救赎的故事。通过镜头，我们将与男主人公一起，走过黑人街区、监狱、城市街头、诗喃大会，在命运面前求索，一步步走近生活与内心的真实，并以此为源，化为蓬勃而真挚的诗喃。
诗喃的表演形式非常纯粹，没有服饰、没有布景、没有音乐，整个过程仅靠诗喃者的声音与肢体语言进行表达。舞台、诗喃者、观众三个元素即构成了这个简单、自由、原生的场域，乃至于，当诗喃的精神深入骨髓，连日常的对话，都可以化律动的诗喃，绽放出语言美妙的流动性。而随着影片的深入，相信你会在最后的演绎中，感受到诗喃者的自我挖掘诚挚脆弱如赤裸婴儿，诗喃者的情感澎湃汹涌野生如荒岛巨浪。那是简单如一、一即是全的彻底的生命表达。
