Danny is an unemployed, free spirited young man from Southwark. Learning and understanding about other people’s global stance is something that interests and has inspired him to go travelling around the world when he is older. This film was made by young people from Southwark and The Cumming Museum Youth Panel. 1000 LONDONERS ‘Danny' is part of the 1000 Londoners season, made by people living and working in the capital. The films released are part of the 1000 Londoners second phase, filmed by community groups within London; providing an honest and raw perspective of our city. The community groups include schools, museums and galleries. The series has been generously supported by the London Transport museum, The Roundhouse, Y-Touring, Tower Hamlets Futureversity, Lambeth Summer University, The Royal Borough of Greenwich Drugs, Alcohol and Mental Health Integrated Commission and Providence Row homeless charity. This film is part of 1000 Londoners, a five-year digital project which aims to create a digital portrait of a city through 1000 of the people who identify themselves with it. The profile contains a 3 minute film that gives an insight into the life of the Londoner, as well as their personal photos of London and some answers to crucial questions about their views on London life. Over the course of the project we aim to reveal as many facets of the capital as possible, seeing city life from 1000 points of view. 1000londoners.com youtube.com/1000londoners facebook.com/1000londoners Twitter: @1000_londoners 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.

I get in the shower and get washed, and go get dressed. Go downstairs, see my mum for a bit, my brothers and little sister. And then go round to my friend Tony's house. And just sort of, go from there. See what happens. I used to have it every day, but I haven't had it in a long time, I wish I did, but the shop stopped selling them. I used to get a golden Whisper and a can of coke, every morning. Without fail. But yeah, the shop stopped selling them, so, they took away my gold Whisper. And I was not happy, not in the slightest. One of the things I find most interesting, is the global stance on specific events, or certain people. How people are some times scapegoated by other people and it interests me to try and find out why. Or the individual things that people do that make them different, but soon, once I turn legal age I want to go to LA, as you have to be 21 over there to do anything. It's ridiculous. In the future I would like to see more of the world and meet new people. Experience new things, new cultures. Just the food, the music, everything that makes that particular corner of the world "tick". Travelling interests me because the new cultures and people, experiencing other peoples history and learning about everywhere and everyone.
