In Toronto, one out of four people is functionally illiterate. Most are from low-income backgrounds. Literacy is more than ABC's; it's being able to travel the subway, fill out a job application, fight an unfair contract. Interviews with parents, school-children, literacy workers, and students underline this fact, and touch upon the school system, governments, and racism as aspects of the literacy issue.
