About the Film:
Moving America’s Soul on Suicide shares powerful, real-life stories of individuals who have faced unimaginable pain and mental health challenges. The film explores the raw and emotional journeys of those like a marine who never imagined his life could be shattered, a teenage girl without hope for the future, and a young boy consumed by his own spiraling thoughts. Each story is a testament to the struggle many face, but also to the strength and courage it takes to find a way back.
In this 70-minute film, directed by Dr. Thomas Joiner, a leading expert on suicide prevention, viewers are taken through a compassionate exploration of what drives individuals to the darkest places—and, more importantly, what can be done to bring them back. Through the stories of Silouan, Tonja, Kevin, Misha, Craig, and Ally, the film conveys an essential message: "Anyone can get broken," but with support, recovery is possible.
Panel Discussion:
Following the screening, we invite you to a 20-minute discussion with individuals who have personally experienced the profound impact of suicide. This panel includes:
Survivors of Suicide Loss, who have lost loved ones
Suicide Attempt Survivors, who share their stories of resilience and hope
This event aims to raise awareness, foster understanding, and provide crucial insights on how we can all play a role in suicide prevention.
Why This Matters:
Suicide is not an issue that only happens to someone else. It's a deeply personal tragedy that can touch any family, any community. Through open discussions and events like these, we can begin to break the stigma around mental health and support those in need.
Don’t miss this chance to be part of an important conversation. Reserve your seat today and join us for an evening of reflection, understanding, and hope.
