I wanted to share a movie that I think is pretty interesting, called The Linguists. It came out in 2008 and was somewhat popular. It is about two linguists that travel to various countries in order to document dying languages and the adventures they have along the way.
From PBS.org:
Here is a link to the trailer:

One of my favorite lines in the movie is when one of the linguists says (paraphrasing) with each language that dies, a unique way of viewing the world dies with it.
****Waring the beginning and end have of the movie have graphic scenes of a man doing a ritual where he kills a hamster (or a small creature like that)
****
It is available on Netflix (not streaming) and at this site: http://www.thelinguists.com/
From PBS.org:
"The Linguists is a hilarious and poignant chronicle of two scientists—David Harrison and Gregory Anderson—racing to document languages on the verge of extinction. In Siberia, India, and Bolivia, the linguists confront head-on the very forces silencing languages: racism, humiliation, and violent economic unrest. David and Greg's journey takes them deep into the heart of the cultures, knowledge, and communities at risk when a language dies."
