We often walk past strangers in the street with no knowledge or understanding of what their story or life experiences have taught them, but happily listen or watch intently to celebrities who have battled personal demons and feel a sense of joy or sadness about their success in pushing through. My Local People is about local people, their lives and how they have coped with struggles, changes in society yet managed to maintain their positive approach. These are other peoples stories, if nothing else I hope they allow you an opportunity to realise we are all on a journey together.
