Lost for Words S2 | Trailer | Starts Wednesday 12 October at 7:30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand

Imagine not being able to read a text message, navigate public transport or write a letter. For a staggering 43% of Australia’s adult population, or seven million that’s their daily reality. A shocking 53%, or 9 million Australians are also challenged by everyday numeracy, unable to read a timetable, count change or follow a recipe.

SBS’s empowering and uplifting observational documentary series, Lost for Words, returns for a second series on Wednesdays from 12 October at 7.30pm, shining a light on Australia’s staggeringly low literacy and, for the first time, numeracy levels.

Literacy advocate, Jay Laga’aia returns to host and narrate this three-part documentary series, which brings together nine more courageous Australians hoping to overcome their struggle to read, write and do basic sums and undergo a journey of self-discovery that will ultimately change their lives forever.
