Perhaps the SF-based Rhizomers can attend this. I unfortunately missed the
NYC screening at MOMA, but the documentary will also be on PBS:

Looks really interesting.

Adele Horne's THE TAILENDERS
Shot in Los Angeles, the Solomom Islands, and Mexico, Los
Angeles-based Adele Horne's feature-length documentary explores the
work of an evangelical missionary group known not only for their
numerous conversions but for their field recordings and translations
of over 5,500 languages since their inception in 1939. Working in
regions where indigenous communities face crises caused by global
economic shifts, and using amazingly efficient low-tech recording
devices, the missionaries seek out displaced and impoverished people,
ostensibly in need of some kind of enlightenment. Elegantly structured
and photographed, THE TAILENDERS explores both the material and
ideological means and meanings of these linguistic translations and
spiritual transformations.
