Twin Tongues

In an English-dominant world, can a pair of Latinx twins learn English without losing their Spanish? Twin Tongues/Lenguas gemelas explores migration, languages, and power through a Puerto Rican-Peruvian family when their twins enter first grade. Shot in Philadelphia (United States), Puerto Rico, and Peru, this nonfiction film celebrates multilingualism as it wrestles with the choices that speakers make in relation to their languages today.
