What
would it be like if your parents put you in a school where the teacher
spoke a foreign language?
Speaking
in Tongues uses this scenario to explore the provocative
notion that being bilingual can be a national asset. Taking us beyond
rote arguments and stereotypes, this intimate film
witnesses the joys and challenges of four diverse children on their
journey to become global citizens. Enter their world and ask, today, is
knowing one language enough?
You'll be charmed and challenged by 2009's San Francisco International
Film Festival Audience Award winner.
