JustWatchMiracle of the Little Prince
A documentary about dedicated translators of the book The Little Prince by Saint- Exupéry, who are fighting for the preservation of their endangered languages. Next to the Bible, The Little Prince is the most translated book in the world, in more than 375 languages. The film explores why people from diverse cultures choose this book to keep their threatened languages and cultures alive - from Sami in the highlands of Samiland to Tamazight spoken on the desert planes of the Sahara, and from Tibetan taught in exile in Paris to Nahuatl still spoken by a last generation in El Salvador. Every translator has a dramatic story to tell. It’s an inspiring film about the rescue and rediscovery of language, inspired in turn by the wisdom of the Little Prince.
