A interesting and fun talk about how the language we speak affects the way we think about the world.
The high points, for me, are the short film at the beginning ("Words") and the Kuuk Thaayorre language, which, according to Wikipedia, makes use of "words for absolute cardinal directions, instead of words with relative senses (ahead, left, etc.) as is familiar in most languages." For more on that, see chapter 9 of the talk.
