A NEW media suite in Cirencester College has been named after a former student who died in a road accident while travelling in Vietnam.

The Josh Edmonds Media Suite will officially open on March 1.

Josh Edmonds, who died aged 22, studied video production and became a video producer for the Ministry of Sound.

Parents of Josh, Jane Harris and Jimmy Edmonds, will also be launching a documentary to challenge the perception of how people cope with the death of a loved one. 

The special charity screening of A Love That Never Dies, presented by The Good Grief Project, will launch on March 16 at Vue Cinema Stroud in partnership with Stroud Film Festival.

Jane and Jimmy travelled across the USA and Mexico in search of others who have also experienced the death of a child.

Jimmy and Jane discover that loss and grief can take many forms. In Mexico, they encounter the carnival style Day Of The Dead festival, but throughout their journey they witness many more personal ways that people have found to move forward after the death of a son or daughter.

They said: “We are very excited about the launch of our documentary and the potential it has to reach a wide audience. 

"Since our son died we have learnt so much -  not just about grief but also about trauma and loss in general – sadly his death has given us new insights into what really makes us tick as human beings.”

In memory of the video maker, the Ministry of Sound in 2013 launched a Josh Edmonds Memorial Scheme for young people in Gloucestershire to win an internship at the club.
