Finding Your Voice: “Language & Self-Discovery”

September is the season of new beginnings — new school terms, new challenges, and new opportunities to learn. This month, our theme is Language and Self-Discovery, and we’re celebrating the extraordinary journey of learning a new language and, in doing so, discovering a new version of yourself.

What better way to explore this theme than through the warm and uplifting world of Indian cinema?

Our featured film is Gauri Shinde’s English Vinglish — a charming, funny, and deeply moving Hindi film about Shashi, an Indian housewife who travels to New York and secretly enrols in an English language class. It is a film about the courage it takes to learn something new, the dignity of every learner, and the transformative power of language.
