Freeing the silenced tongue : Mainers with French-Canadian roots try to revive their banished patois

Description

Brief profile of a Waterville, Maine, group of adults intent on reclaiming the French language that permeated their earlier lives but that - for reasons personal, political, and otherwise historical - was replaced or repressed by communication in English. Includes testimonies of the circumstances surrounding language loss from others in northern Maine's St. John River Valley, as well as from a Maine documentary filmmaker.
