In Esther's Name

In 2001 I was invited by the UK national TV programme, “That’s Esther” (presented by Esther Rantzen) to take a camera to Nepal and film myself for an item on their programme. The story revolved around the tragic background to The Esther Benjamins Trust and how Esther’s death had inspired me to free innocent children from a life behind bars in Nepal. The piece worked remarkably well - in spite of the cameraman’s limitations - and was shown a second time as the “best of” the series at the end of the year. The producers kindly allowed me to use the footage after the show and here it is, featuring a very-young-looking me.

I am very pleased to post this video on the day that my little Nepali daughter Alisha is being christened in Crondall, Surrey.
