This is a compelling documentary that will challenge you to make a difference and become part of the solution to illiteracy in this
country.
More than 44 million Americans are functionally illiterate. This means that they cannot write a letter, read a bus schedule or use a calculator to solve a simple math problem. This dramatic video chronicles the experiences of some of these people as well as those who have given so much to become literacy volunteers. You’ll see what it feels like to be unable to read. You’ll also see what can and is being done by volunteers committed to solving the illiteracy problem in America.
