Documentary Synopsis:
A darkly comic look at what happens when one man dares ask the question “Why won’t anyone talk about suicide?” Director Mike Stutz investigates his mom’s suicide by opening up a conversation with his family that they never had when he was a kid. Then he recruits a band of writers, artists, dancers, comic punk clowns and suicide survivors to put their own unique stamp on the conversation. Teenagers dance to autopsy reports. A jumper gives tips on how to come out of a coma. A comic discovers that suicide can actually be funny. Also, dozens of amazingly honest and incredible people open up about their lives in ways you’d never expect. Oh and there’s animation, a suicide band, and parties for the dead.
