Daniel in Richmond is 11-20 and is a student.

In honour of World Autism Awareness Week, we are pleased to share Daniel’s amazing story! Being Aspergic, Daniel grew up struggling to cope with stress and had trouble finding a hobby he enjoyed enough to stick with. Finally, he was introduced to the local yard where he developed a true passion for horses and horse-riding. Taking care of the horses has helped him to overcome his anxiety and has given him an optimistic outlook for the future.

1000 Londoners is produced by South London based film production company and social enterprise, Chocolate Films. The filmmakers from Chocolate Films will be both producing the films and providing opportunities to young people and community groups to make their own short documentaries, which will contribute to the 1000 films.
