Lucy could have been one of those girls. Her father had wanted her out of school when she was 14, but she resisted, and later became the first girl in her village to go to university. Now, with a degree in education, she is a district leader for AGE Africa, an organisation that provides scholarships for vulnerable girls in Malawi, a country where secondary education is not free. Lucy was once a student in the programme, and now she helps girls like herself.
What happened to the Milsome family resonated with Kinnear. "There was a new family having to live the similar tragedy to the one that me and my family had experienced, and again, something that was easily avoidable and just shouldn't have happened," he said. "On-set safety practices that could have been changed."
