Spread the Word (2019)
Synopsis
With over 500,000 words you’d think the English language has a word for everything. But dig a little deeper and you’ll find it doesn’t. In a fun and fast-paced local series, indigenous Comedians and Language Warriors Bjorn Stewart and Katie Beckett introduce you to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander words you never knew you needed.
