Director Lisa J. Klein – 2017 USA 93 min Bay Area Premiere – Documentary
This powerful documentary explores one of the most feared and misunderstood topics in the human experience – suicide. Putting a human face to the subject, the film shares the stories of those with lived experience – people who have attempted to take their own lives and survived to tell their stories. Capturing personal revelations and surprising moments of humor, The S Word opens a door on this most taboo of subjects through the eyes of the people who have been there and are now committed to preventing others from getting to that edge. – Chris Metzler
