Endangered Languages 'On the Road' with Bob Holman


On the Road with Bob Holman, the travel documentary series that puts
endangered languages on the map, is having its encore presentation on LINK
TV!

What happens when a downtown New York poet of the hip hop and slam
persuasion discovers that the roots of spoken word go back thousands of
years and span the globe? If he's Bob Holman, he goes On the Road to track
them down! He trades stories, fun, recipes, insights, jokes, songs, and
poems. Along the way, he gets passionately immersed in the Endangered
Language crisis- over half the world's 6500 languages will disappear before
the end of this century. Holman guides us to the bottom-line question of
survival of these systems of consciousness with respect, joy, and dedication
to diversity. He throws himself into the life- shares the meals, participates in
the ceremonies, dances and parties. His enthusiasm infects the series' fast-
paced style- Hip, but not hipper than thou. Serious fun! Ok everybody, get
ready- let's take the road not taken, with Bob Holman.
