Given your interest in raising multilingual children, we thought you might like to know about our forthcoming documentary, SPEAKING IN TONGUES.

It tells the story of four diverse kids becoming bilingual in the public schools in a time when 31 states have passed English Only initiatives. As their city debates the provocative notion that speaking a foreign language can be a national asset, we see how they face the challenges and delights of becoming fluent in two languages. Through their eyes, we witness how speaking more than one language changes them, their families, their communities, and maybe even the world.

To learn more about the film, you can watch our 2 minute trailer at:

or read the description on the San Francisco International Film Festival website, where the film is premiering in April: http://fest09.sffs.org/films/film_details.php?id=84
