Here's an interview with Kirkwall Grammar School's teacher of Religious, Moral and Philosophical studies, Theophilus Ogbhemhe. He has a powerful and positive message, working towards a better society.
The light got very intense while we filmed this! It seems appropriate.

Lovely to be at the Scottish Parliament yesterday to celebrate Year of Stories 2022 #YS2022 & proud 'Up the Middle Road: Crichton Stories of Resilience & Recovery' was part of it. It was wonderful to find out about the fantastic events across Scotland. Congratulations to all, particularly Marie Christie and her hardworking colleagues at EventScotland, & MuseumsGalleriesScotland. Delighted our event features in the end of year showreel; what a legacy #YS2022 has created:
“📽️ As a fitting way to round off Scotland’s Year of Stories, we’re delighted to share this film which showcases some inspiring projects supported through the #YS2022 Community Stories Fund. Hear from event organisers about why it was important to share their community’s stories.”
