The "Speaking in tongues" team does an amazing job at clarifying and focusing on a topic that, initially, would prompt more tedium that fervor. Bi-lingual education might be a hot topic in the educational sphere but is not a natural shoe-in for exciting fare on the big screen. I was floored however, by the artful weaving of elements I witnessed when watching this movie at the San Francisco Independent Film Festival last year. It was only just that the piece went on to win the Audience Award for best Documentary Feature as the unassuming topic steadily and competently gains greater currency as it winds its way along the path of its 4 or 5 main characters, children and young people in school in San Francisco and abroad. By the end of the movie, the audience was left thoroughly gripped by the stories told and inspired by the amazing progress portrayed. Concurrently, without wonkishness, Jarmal and Schneider manage to layout the current state of affairs on this often muddled and misunderstood approach to truly furthering a young person's outlook and skills. A must see for people in this field and a great watch for all.
