In a world increasingly resistant to cultural exchange, the miracle of The Little Prince is how it’s become so universally beloved, and Boonstra’s film is a worthy homage to its passionate translators who’ve been so inspired by Saint-Exupery’s story .

This is a documentary that will best be appreciated not by fans of The Little Prince but rather by linguists and ethnographers.
