OTHER
Echo in the Village is a modern day fable imagining how a young person in a remote community migrating to a first-world environment might learn a foreign language. Peter, a 13-year-old shepherd boy in a small mountain village is offered a way out by his uncle who has become a successful rancher in Latin America. But, with his grandfather's help, he must learn a new language in order to be able to succeed outside rural Italy.
FACTOID #12
In our occasional film series, The Unvanquished, we showcased the work of filmmakers who continued to make their art despite suffering artistic repression. Those honored include directors Paul Carpita (1996), Paul Meyer (1996), Abraham Polonsky (1996) and John Berry (1998) and actors Karen Morley (1999) and Behrouz Vossoughi (2001).
