These Days: A Short Film on Youth Suicide
These Days is a short film exploring the aftermath of a youth suicide (Malik) on his friends, family and school community. It is targeted firmly at Australian teenagers in language and tone, and has a very honest look at teenage life today. The narrative focuses on Malik's friend Chloe as she struggles with the grief and depression that follow this tragedy. It provides an opportunity for viewers to reflect on warning signs, positive and negative coping strategies, and ultimately the importance of resilience and a strong support network.
