I love this short film. When you watch it, remember that its title is Words:
Words was made by Will Hoffman and Daniel Mercadante of the New York/Los Angeles-based production company Everynone, with original music by Keith Kenniff.
The film is meant to accompany the Words episode of the radio show Radiolab. Here’s its abstract:
It’s almost impossible to imagine a world without words. But in this hour of Radiolab, we try to do just that. We speak to a woman who taught a 27-year-old man the first words of his life, and we hear a firsthand account of what it feels like to have the language center of your brain wiped out by a stroke. Plus: a group of children invent an entirely new language in Nicaragua in the 1970s.
