Colours of the Alphabet
"Does the future have to be in English?"
Documentary
It is estimated that 40% of the world’s population lack the opportunity to be educated in their own language. In Colours of the Alphabet we get an insight into the challenges this poses as we follow a group of first graders in Zambia – a country with 72 local languages where education is primarily offered in English.
Director: Alastair Cole
