Filmmaker Ora DeKornfeld captures the impact poetry can have on an individual in her intimate portrait, Tyesha. See how one girl finds solace from a difficult home life and childhood trauma through a spoken-word class offered at her high school.

The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors. We look for work that affirms National Geographic’s mission of inspiring people to care about the planet. The filmmakers created the content presented, and the opinions expressed are their own, not those of the National Geographic Society.
Know of a great short film that should be part of our Showcase? Email SFS@ngs.org to submit a video for consideration.
