This video is an upbeat and inspirational documentary about a group of adults attending an upgrading program in a small rural Nova Scotian fishing community. Through dramatic footage and interviews, we see the learners
working to overcome their fears about going back to school and we hear how they deal with other obstacles they have encountered while trying to finish school as adults. We also learn how the program was started by efforts of several groups in the community. Never Too Late! is intended to foster public awareness about literacy, as well as reach out to potential adult learners.
The documentary was collaboratively written and produced by a group of women learning video production skills in conjunction with a professional videographer through a National Literacy Secretariat project. Several of the women are also learners and tutors in the Terence Bay Upgrading Program.
