‘We never really lost French in Louisiana,’ says Elaine Clement, Community Outreach Coordinator at CODOFIL, the only governmental agency in the U.S. designed to protect a language. Despite a history of adversity, the French language has continued in southern Louisiana, thanks to a strong cultural identity and an unwillingness to let go of their past. But the future of the language is uncertain. With a focus on their rich past, poetic present, and uncertain future, this short documentary tells the story of the people who have maintained and reclaimed their native language. |
