Marty McConnell attacks ones comfort zone with a machine gun loaded with poetic bullets of truth. No one ever lives until they have found something they would die for.

i have watched this movie six times today. I tried googling Marty McConnell but found precious little. How can I learn more about her/potential upcoming tours?

Love it. She wants change. She wants truth. I understand it.

umm...she talks about plenty of things worth dying to stop, and then asks for something worth dying for? or is that supposed to be the point? i love slam poetry, but this one either got lost in its own delivery or is too subtle for me to be sure about

I think she was trying to say there are tons of causes and a lot "revolutions", but none are getting anywhere. She wants to die for a cause that has hope of inducing change.

this is a very good piece of work and powerfully presented. as an aside, is it me or does she bear a slight resemblance (both vocally and physically) to the character of "Kira" from Star Trek Deep Space Nine?!
