- Synopsis
- "Lost for Words" is a visually poetic and thought-provoking documentary inspired by the book The Lost Words by Robert MacFarlane and Jackie Morris. This film takes audiences on a journey through the landscapes and communities of the United Kingdom, exploring the deep connection between language, nature, and the urgent global challenges we face today. Through immersive storytelling, the documentary highlights how words tied to the natural world are disappearing from the vocabularies of younger generations. By focusing on local landscapes, Lost for Words invites viewers to reconnect with nature and contemplate critical issues such as climate change, habitat destruction, and species extinction. Featuring underrepresented voices such as children, Alzheimer's patients, and environmental activists, the film serves as a hopeful call to action for collective change.
