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.
