Danielle Baynes previously released another short film, Comments, that won several awards including the Audience Award at Freshflix Film Festival 2022. Her work intentionally seeks to bring large scale awareness to issues faced in society today.
Following the screening, we will have a thought-provoking panel discussion featuring:

Attendees can expect to take away:
• Appreciation of the link between euthanasia and veterinary suicide • That suicidal thoughts are only dangerous when they are unmentionable • That death is not the only answer to suffering • That relationships make the difference
In addition, attendees will be given information about how they can arrange their own screenings of the film and share this resource with their professional communities.
