| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...we watch paired teams battle to save U.S. veterans from committing suicide in the only existing crisis center(!) in a country where 22 veterans take their lives every day. |
| User ReviewKate HBrings a new awareness to the viewer of a steadily growing problem: veteran suicide |
| User ReviewDan HIt's only 40 minutes, but is a super tense watch. We follow the workers at the only crisis hotline in the US that deals with Veterans contemplating suicide. The whole film consists of various workers taking calls from Vets and trying to talk them down. It's not an easy watch, but is still a well made and interesting watch |
| User ReviewSimon DWhile this is a very worthy cause and it's good that the public are being made aware of such an organisation and the thankless work that it does, I found it a bit strange when, during desparate conversations with people about to commit suicide, the counsillors were clearly repeating their sentances for the benefit of the camera, or at least that's how it seemed to me. I'm not so comfortable with this being filmed at all to be honest, especially as it stands to win an oscar. |
