Description
Power, resistance, and the race to save our world.
By the end of this century half of the world's 7000 languages will be gone. Killed by war, climate breakdown, migration, nationalism, or neglect - and losing with it the vital knowledge that they have sustained for centuries. Sophia Smith Galer - inspired by her Nonna's passing, who spoke an endangered Italian "dialët" - journeyed across the globe to report on this disappearing world.
Sophia is joined in conversation with broadcaster Huw Stephens.
Recorded at the Talking Shop
