The Linguists (2008)
Directed by Daniel A. Miller, Jeremy Newberger, Seth Kramer
“David and Greg will circle the planet to hear the last whispers of a dying language.”
Documentary · 1h 04m
The Linguists is a hilarious and poignant chronicle of two scientists—David Harrison and Gregory Anderson—racing to document languages on the verge of extinction. In Siberia, India, and Bolivia, the linguists confront head-on the very forces silencing languages: racism, humiliation, and violent economic unrest. David and Greg's journey takes them deep into the heart of the cultures, knowledge, and communities at risk when a language dies.
