During the early 20th century, hundreds of thousands of people around the world spoke Esperanto and believed in its ideals. Today, surprisingly, a vibrant Esperanto movement still exists. In this first-ever documentary about Esperanto, Green creates a portrait of the language and those who speak it today that is at once humorous, poignant, stirring, and ultimately hopeful.
"I saw The Universal Language with great pleasure and I hope it will have the success it deserves. If it is shown in TV channels it could bring many people to think further about Esperanto. Some people in Copenhagen expressed the view that a more propagandistic film should have been made. They don’t realize that the strength of an objective film is greater."
– Renato Corsetti

lgg:Mi ne chesas miri ke chio esperantoreklamanta estas nehavebla senkostesenTMSe. Mi pensas ke tio estas kontrauprodukta, chu ne?I assume you meant to say it displeases you that the video is unavailable without cost. Well, I just downloaded the movie from the site for free, by clicking on the "ĉifreca" version. Whether or not that was accidental on their part I'm not sure, as I didn't bother to check. But anyway, yeah.
Not too bad movie I thought. Quite moving in places, though I think I would have preferred a generally more upbeat tone, in general.
