FACING SUICIDE A TWIN CITIES PBS ORIGINAL
E ach year tens of thousands of Americans take their own lives, and many more have thoughts of suicide. Facing Suicide , a new documentary from Twin Cities PBS, explores the stories of Americans impacted by suicide and journeys to the front lines of medical and scientific research to meet some of the people who are working to help those at risk. Timely and informative, the project aims to elevate and destigmatize the topic of suicide, offer a message of healing and hope, and empower
audiences and communities with prevention strategies.
Narrated by Josh Charles, the film shares the deeply personal stories of those directly affected by suicide, as well as insights from experts and researchers who are making a difference. An accompanying digital series, to be released on the PBS YouTube channel, works to create a space of understanding, hope and action for young people whose lives have been touched by suicide.
