Lost For Words returns tonight for a second uplifting series shining a light on Australia’s staggeringly low literacy and, for the first time, numeracy levels.
An emotional and inspiring observational documentary series following the personal journey of everyday Australians that make up the 7 million adults who don’t have the basic literacy skills, and the 9 million who lack numeracy skills needed in everyday life.
Host Jay Laga’aia brings together nine everyday Australians who are hoping to overcome their struggle to read, write and do basic sums, and ultimately change their lives forever.
Season Two, Episode One:
Nine brave everyday Australians start a life-changing journey by taking part in an uplifting adult literacy and numeracy program.
Their first lesson involves writing a little bit about themselves, but for many of them it’s a daunting exercise as they haven’t put pen to paper in years. They also set themselves a goal; what they hope to achieve from the program over the next nine weeks.
