Five top-ranked high school students from across the U.S. step onto the national stage to compete in the world’s most intense public speaking competition. Against a backdrop of rising anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and political division, they channel personal conviction into powerful performances that confront injustice head-on.

Speak. offers an intimate, stirring portrait of youth who refuse to stay silent, crafting stories that challenge those in power, demand change, and prove that our voices are a force to be reckoned with.

Followed by a post-screening Q&A with Out In Schools facilitators.
