The invisible borders that separate us lie in our throats. The throat emits the sounds of our native language, shaped by where we grew up to pronounce the words just so. It is a vocal passport, a seemingly permanent identity marker that sets us apart.
From the biblical battlefields of old to modern European centers for processing asylum seekers, the way we speak is used to tell friend from foe and decide who gets welcomed in and who gets left out. The film looks at the science, technology, cultural biases, and politics behind our attempts to sort people. Are these borders really as clear as we think?
