Shout it Out tells the story of a group of teenagers making their way through high school. The film follows them through some of the more tumultuous moments of teenage hood: academic pressure; friction with peers, teachers, and parents; trying to fit in, trying to find one’s self, fear of the future; nostalgia for the past; friendship; and first love.
