We are nothing short of elated to announce that our documentary feature         THE LINGUISTS was selected to world premiere in the newly minted Spectrum: Documentary Spotlight" category at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

THE LINGUISTS is the first documentary supported by the National Science        Foundation to ever make it to Sundance. 

The trailer is at:

Here's a brief synopsis:
It is estimated that of 7,000 languages in the world, half will be gone by         the end of this century.  THE LINGUISTS follows David Harrison and Gregory Anderson, scientists racing to document languages on the verge of extinction. In Siberia, India, and Bolivia, the linguists' resolve is tested by the very forces silencing languages: institutionalized racism 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.
