A film by Oldham young people, Oldham Youth Inclusion Programme

This is a short film made by young people in Oldham. In it, friends and relatives of imaginary local boy Thomas Reilly, who was stabbed to death, recount their memories of Thomas, and how his death has affected them.

The community is in shock after the stabbing, and the film shows just how many people's lives Thomas touched: he was goalie for the local team; he was a son and brother; others knew him from a baby, or as a talented boxer.
