Today Kevin is a world-renowned mental health advocate\, motivational speaker and author who travels the globe spreading a message of hope\, recovery and wellness.  \nThe film chronicles Kevin’s personal journey and the ripple effect it has on those who have been impacted by his suicide attempt and his life’s work since. In addition\, the film highlights the stories of individuals and families who are utilizing their personal tragedy to bring hope and healing to others. \n \n  \nWHY THIS STORY \nSuicide is an epidemic that takes over 800\,000 lives globally every year. In the United States alone there are one million suicide attempts and over 40\,000 deaths by suicide every year. Our United States Military is devastatingly impacted with 22 Veterans dying everyday by suicide\, and that is an understatement. \nResearch has shown that for every one suicide death\, over 115 people are directly\, and secondarily effected and the financial cost of suicide in the US is estimated to be over 40 billion dollars annually. Suicide is global public health crisis that is not receiving the attention it deserves and therefore millions continue to die and the ripple effects of these deaths continue to devastate parents\, children\, families\, friends and communities. This film is uniting and igniting change that will have a tremendous positive impact on reducing the number of suicides and suicide attempts around the world. It is not just a film; it is a movement. \nThere have been other films about suicide but most have been very sombre. This film will take a very hopeful\, intriguing\, and yet entertainment-focused approach by highlighting the work being done by individuals who have been directly impacted by suicide. Work that raises eyebrows\, and pushes people toward giving back to their communities. \nIn addition\, this will be the first full length feature documentary film focused on Kevin’s story\, which is very dramatic and miraculous.
