The Handbook of Suicide Prevention

The film follows three students from the Audio-Visual team who are creating a documentary about a schoolmate's recent suicide. Their project aims to deliver a positive message about the importance of life, but they encounter inconsistencies in the testimonies from a prefect and a teacher. Friends of the deceased appear to withhold uncomfortable truths, raising questions about whether the team should pursue honesty or serve as the school’s propagandist.

Filmed in a mockumentary style, The Handbook of Suicide Prevention delves into themes of hypocrisy and the pressures of adolescence. It presents a stark perspective on how the realities of life and death are often obscured by societal expectations. Collectors of contemporary drama and those interested in unique storytelling approaches will find this film a compelling addition to their collection.
