Jèrriais – a language on the edge of silence
Here is an intimate portrait of Jèrriais, following the voices of its last native speakers and the growing movement fighting to keep it alive – but can it still be done?
This documentary is about a people – the people who spoke, and still speak, Jèrriais, Jersey’s ancient language. Passed down through generations of native speakers, it carries the Island’s history and identity, yet in recent times has comes perilously close to being lost. A rallying cry to a new generation of enthusiasts, learners, and speakers to take up the challenge and ensure this precious language can thrive once again.
This event is FREE.
