I truly feel that your video will add so much to motivating many people to try to take the time and effort to understand people who might communicate differently, and to appreciate the amazing effort that it has taken to try to know and be known by others.

(contd.) a great complement to language and it helps us to reveal our inner world. The film underscores the need to listen to others, the need we all have to be listened to, and the need for patience and empathy. If one learns a second language, a lot of the issues become self-revealing because in a second language one has to begin from scratch. That is a very humbling experience. Thanks for posting this.
