Rockland-based documentary filmmaker Ben Levine will be at the Frontier Cafe in Brunswick on Tuesday to show and talk about his film “Language of America: An Indian Story.”
Filmed over a period of six years in native communities throughout New England, the film shows how language is not only a tool for communication but a window into a culture that has existed in Maine for more than 9,000 years. The story follows members of three New England tribes — Passamaquoddy, Wampanoag and Narragansett — as they struggle to maintain their language.
Besides a showing of the film, there will be a question-and-answer session with Levine.
The film will be shown at 10 Maine locations over the next month or so, including Portland, Rockland, Bangor and Augusta. For a complete list of showings and more information on the film, go to www.languageofamerica.com. I
