Michael Rosen The Death of Eddie

In 1999, Eddie Steele Rosen son, brother, friend and very much his own true self died. He caught meningitis. He was 18 years old. It was a shock to all who knew and loved him and now, nearly 25 years later, he s very much remembered and loved. We think of him every day, we remember his jokes, we remember his hopes. Sometimes it s hard to cope with him not being there. We imagine him seeing all the things we ve been doing. This is a film by one of us: Eddie s dad, Michael. This film has been supported by Apples and Snakes as part of our 40th anniversary. Apples and Snakes has been lucky to work with Michael Rosen since the 1980s and are delighted to support the making of this film, an emotional exploration of Michaels experience of the death of his muchloved son Eddie, and example of the poets unique ability to capture and comment on the world around us. , DefeatMeningitis Written and Performed by Michael Rosen Cinematography and Editing: Matthew Dove P br, br,
