Hearts, Lungs, and Minds is a "composed documentary" by sound artist John Wynne, who spent a year as an artist in residence at Harefield Hospital, one of the world's leading centers for heart and lung transplants.
Hearing Voices is a compelling and adventurous exploration of languages on the verge of extinction.
