NOT ALONE
TUESDAY, MARCH 3 • 7:00
Desperate to understand why her best friend killed herself at 16, teen filmmaker Jacqueline Monetta asks her peers to share their struggles with mental illness and attempted suicide. Through their intimate teen-to-teen conversations, we gain invaluable insights into not only their battles with depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, but also into how they successfully sought help. Each teen paints a vivid picture of the depths of despair they suffered and how talking about it saved them, demonstrating that mental illnesses, like physical illnesses, can and should be treated.
