Our Lives: 'I became a painter during lockdown'

BBC correspondent Ashley John-Baptiste grew up in south London and has been back there to catch up with old school friend Xavier Leopold, who found a positive way of looking after his mental health through lockdown, and at the same time making a difference to a cause that's important to him.

This is the first film in a BBC series called Our Lives – that tells stories from parts of the UK that sometimes fall under the radar.
