特定の信仰のもとで育った、いわゆる「宗教2世」の朗読詩人・iidabii（イーダビー）が、自らの過去と傷、葛藤をさらけ出す姿をとらえたドキュメンタリー。 言葉の力、魂の叫びを全身で解き放つ朗読詩人のiidabii。親が信仰する宗教の中で育ち、疑問を抱くことさえ許されない幼少期を過ごした彼は、やがて「詩」と出会う。複雑な生い立ちと吃音というハンデをもつ彼にとって、詩は沈黙の中で感情を叫ぶ武器となり、自分自身を再定義する手段となる。そしてその詩は、社会の片隅に生きる人々と深く共鳴していく。 本作ではそんなiidabiiの人生の軌跡と創作の過程を3年間にわたって記録し、信仰と家族と言葉、そして自由をめぐる物語を描き出す。監督は、テレビのドキュメンタリー番組を数多く手がけてきた松井秀裕と津田友美。
A documentary capturing the spoken-word poet iidabii, a so-called 'second-generation religious believer' raised under a specific faith, as he bares his past, wounds, and inner conflicts. iidabii unleashes the power of words and the cry of his soul with his entire being. Growing up in a religion practiced by his parents, he spent a childhood where even questioning was forbidden, until he encountered 'poetry.' For him, burdened with a complex background and a stutter, poetry became a weapon to shout his emotions in silence and a means to redefine himself. His poetry resonates deeply with those living on the fringes of society. This film records iidabii's life journey and creative process over three years, weaving a story about faith, family, language, and freedom. Directed by Matsui Shuhiro and Tsuda Tomomi, who have worked on numerous television documentary programs.
