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?
