My Friend Who Died

Overview

Many of you know the story, but for those of you that don't, this is the story of the life and death of Jamie Clapp. Jamie grew up in Mangotsfield and was a keen skateboarder. Just before his 14th birthday, he was tragically killed in a light aircraft accident. This film tells the story of how a young skateboarding community chose to honour Jamie's memory in the form of the Emersons Green skatepark. The skatepark now serves as a space for an entire community to enjoy, and to remember Jamie by.
