Bill Nighy in Coping Strategies

The community channel has run a theme week about Disabilty showing programs and films related to this subject. They have also shown Coping Strategies in which Bill makes a brief appearance.

‘Coping Strategies’, a 26-minute black comedy film about a young man with learning disabilities, produced by Yarrow Housing Organisation’s Moment by Moment Theatre group.

The film tells the story of Shahid, a young man with learning disabilities, who breaks free from his doting mother for a new life of romance, independence and indulgence. However, the effects of the Ramadan fast on him and his obsessive and antisocial flatmates; Jerry and Wilson, conspire with the mysterious Paris Stilton, to drive him to distraction and a showdown worthy of his Bollywood Heroes.

The film stars Yarrow service users, staff, and supporters, and features a guest appearance by BAFTA Award winner Bill Nighy, who plays a social worker.
