Their dream is simple: To win the Super Bowl of public speaking, the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) Nationals and $100,000 in college scholarships. “Speak.” follows these young firebrands as they rehearse wherever they can: at family dinners, on the school bus, in front of a startled pet pig, at church, and, of course, with their coaches and teammates, who are often as close as family. College admissions officers often show up at NSDA tournaments, scouring the event for future recruits. This is the young orators’ first chance to be seen and heard.

From Executive Producer Ang Lee, this documentary is based on Steven Callahan’s New York Times bestselling novel “Adrift: 76 Days Lost at Sea.” In 1982, Callahan was on a solo trip across the Atlantic when a collision with a whale left his boat sinking in the dead of night. With the ocean surging into his vessel, Steven had only minutes to launch himself into the dark, unforgiving sea in a small, inflatable life raft with only a basic emergency kit. For an astonishing 76 days, that fragile inflatable raft became Steven’s entire world as he drifted helplessly across the vast expanse of the Atlantic. Forced to confront his deepest fears, limitations and the raw power of nature, he discovered an inner strength he never knew he possessed. “76 Days Adrift” is more than just a survival story — it’s a powerful meditation on human endurance, resilience and the profound connection between man and nature. Directed and produced by Joe Wein; executive produced by Ang Lee.
