One Way Street is a language and literacy cultural awareness documentary and discussion guide.
Through the stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, a journey is taken that explores the complexities of Indigenous language and literacy.
This professional development video highlights the difficulties faced everyday by adults and children whose first language is not English. It is divided into six sections, which look at the value of literacy and its relationship with language, land and cultural identity.
The accompanying discussion guide examines in detail the video's many themes and provides a bank of questions to assist trainers and facilitators.
The documentary is particularly suitable for use by training organisations, employers, government and community agencies.
