Teens, parents of teens, educators, mental health & wellness advocates - don't miss this documentary at Santa Barbara I

WORLD PREMIERE this Friday 1/24 at 10:00am Fiesta Theatre 3 (tickets sold morning of screening $10) & Saturday 1/25 at 2:00pm at Lobero Theatre (FREE - open to public, admission on first-come, first-serve basis with festival passholders admitted first.) A grieving father seeks answers after his 14-year-old son dies by suicide. He uncovers painful truths about the lives of teens, the impact of unfettered access to internet and social media, and the shocking rise of depression among America’s youth. The journey brings him together with young suicide survivors, prevention experts, and parents trying to understand the 70% increase in adolescent suicide. Closer to home, with his family fractured, he examines his son’s technology use to discover what no parent wants to find. Seeking to find the warning signs that were missed, he instead finds ways to reverse the isolation and disconnectedness that is killing our youth. **Q&As to follow screenings with director David Fried, Jay Reid (the father featured in the film, founder of non-profit to end teen suicide by 2030, Chooselife.org) and suicide survivor/creator of a FacesofFortitude.com, Marieangela Abeo.
