CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE (OTW)

By Iyore E.

The phrase "cat got your tongue" is often used to ask someone why they are not speaking. The documentary takes this phrase and uses it to explore the negative attitudes and prejudices that people with foreign accents can face when speaking English. It highlights the linguistic diversity in North America and how accents can reflect a person's cultural heritage and identity. The documentary also sheds light on the importance of valuing linguistic diversity and how exposure to different accents can enrich one's understanding and appreciation of different cultures. Overall, the documentary serves as a powerful reminder of the need for inclusiveness and respect for linguistic diversity.
