Well, it's NOT TV or film, but there was a RADIO program on US National
Public Radio (NPR) a couple years back. It can be accessed (and downloaded)

Not exactly what you requested, but MAYBE of some use ... it was an
interesting show.

This is a link to a television series out of Canada about Native Languages
called "Finding Our Talk".
I haven't seen it, but it looks interesting. I keep hoping that they will
bring out a DVD at a reasonable price.
