This episode of Light on Leeds is dedicated to the memory of Nigel Whalley. John and Catherine remotely connected to tell me about the poignant and beautiful film they made together "Nigel". They talk about how they came to know each other and tell me who Nigel was and why they wanted to film him. Here is Catherine in her own words: "It was really nice to hear that our film, Nigel, is causing some debate and being used to address the issues around homelessness in Leeds. When John first told me about Nigel and we discussed making a film together we didn't have any real intentions for it, the idea was simply to get Nigel's story out there. What happened next was a lovely collaboration between the three of us, the sad part now of course is that Nigel isn't here to discuss his part in creating it. That in itself forms another part of the story and so it continues." Catherine chose the track "Homeless" by Sad Little Attic boy.
