SPEAK! Voices of Competitive Speech and Debate Upend Expectations

It’s well known that Oprah, Josh Gad, and Bruce Springsteen are some of the most famous High School Speech and Debate alums, but what’s Speech and Debate all about? The brilliant new documentary film SPEAK captures it all. We engaged a 2026 State Champion, a Former National Champion Actor Sean Rogers (who is killing it in theatre and film right now), three nationally recognized coaches who are LUMINARIES in that world and the absolutely fantastic film-maker Guy Mossman that brought SPEAK to life. See SPEAK. Oh yeah. "LISTEN". They have a lot to say. Josh Gad serves as the Executive Producer on SPEAK.
