Description
Summary:Wahbi Zarry comes by his knowledge of languages honestly. Not only does the Casablanca, Morocco native speak fluent French, Arabic and English, but in the past two years Zarry has tackled learning two Indigenous languages - Cree, documented in his 2020 documentary 10 Days of Cree, and now, Nakota. Like he did when he ambitiously tried to learn Cree in 10 days, Zarry's journey towards learning Nakota has been recorded for posterity. The result is 10 Days of Nakota, a half hour documentary and the second episode in a series called Canadian Languages, a series Zarry is producing to help buildawareness about Indigenous languages in Canada.
