Synopsis

Spoken Word stars Kuno Becker (Goal! The Dream Begins) as Cruz, a San Francisco spoken word artist who returns to New Mexico to care for his dying father, played by legendary actor and Grammy®–award winning recording artist Ruben Blades (Assassination Tango, Once Upon a Time in Mexico). Aided by shady nightclub owner Emilio, played by Miguel Sandoval (Bottle Shock, Medium), Cruz quickly finds himself slipping back into the dangerous life he tried to escape. Seduced by the fast action and easy money, Cruz loses his poetic voice, his identity, and almost his life, before he finds a way to heal his relationships with his family, his community, and himself. Spoken Word is directed by Victor Nunez, who also directed the Academy Award–nominated and Golden Globe®–winning drama Ulee's Gold.
