Two languages, a multilingual world.

Synopsis:

We all have a mother tongue. In an English-dominant world, can a pair of Latinx twins learn English without losing their Spanish? Twin Tongues/Lenguas gemelas is a nonfiction film directed by ILIANA PAGÁN-TEITELBAUM that explores the relationship between migration, languages, and power through a Puerto Rican-Peruvian family when their twins enter first grade. Shot in Philadelphia, Puerto Rico, and Peru, this film celebrates multilingualism as it wrestles with the choices that speakers make in relation to their languages today.
