This discovery is very dramatic, and the documentary shows the research struggle in a vivid manner. The film travels from the Sea Islands to Sierra Leone and back. Even more compelling is footage of the woman who sings an African song for the present day linguist who has found it amongst Dr Turner's notes. I don't want to spoil the story for you, but believe me there is a moment of incredible poignancy and triumph when the ethno-musicologist and the linguist finally come to an end of their African field work.
