What does nature mean to you? Lost for Words takes What does nature mean to you? Lost for Words takes its audience on a journey around the UK, portraying natural landscapes and the communities that live within them. Our starting point is the disappearance of nature words from the Oxford Junior Dictionary in 2007. Inspired by Robert MacFarlane and Jackie Morris’s best-selling book The Lost Words, it is lost words like acorn, otter, bluebell, and dandelion that guide us through the film. Lost for Words is an invitation for each of us to reconnect to our own environment and sparks a vital question: What is our future, and how can we approach it with kindness?⁠
⁠
"Lost for Words" will be screening on Wednesday, April 22nd, at 7:45 pm. ⁠

Presented by Sussex School!⁠
