I left my home in Ñuu Savi when I was 15 years old, going on to explore worlds that were different from my own. After I began to train as a documentary filmmaker, I grew interested in learning my family’s language, which I was forbidden to speak as a child. By the time I return, my father has passed away, and his language with him. In this documentary, I search for Tu’un Savi through its speakers.
