Full Plot Details

Real-life drama about why, in a beautiful and quirky rural town, film- maker Jez Lewis' childhood friends are killing themselves. Beginning with a personal quest for understanding, the film moves into a year-long drama of human tragedy and redemption as principal character Cass comes to terms with his own mortality and attempts to lift himself out of his cycle of self-destruction. This core narrative carves an upward arc through an intimate study of a place often described as paradise, but which harbours an undertow of lethal hedonism and disillusionment. As people continue to kill themselves during the making of the film, a maelstrom of conflicting values throws up unexpected truths about the human condition.

Movie Reviews

Little White Lies - 10/10 by Martyn ConterioShed Your Tears and Walk Away is brave, honest, open-hearted filmmaking at its very best.
Sight and Sound - 8/10 by Kieron CorlessThe obliteration of distance between filmmaker and those being filmed carries over into the viewer's experience, an intimacy so raw and visceral you can practically smell the alcohol on his subjects' breath.
Daily Mirror (UK) - 8/10 by David EdwardsWhile rough and ready, this is a documentary that makes us come to care very deeply for these lost souls, even if you suspect all they need to do is move down to Foster's.
User Review - 10/10 by Anne FJez Lewis grew up in Hebden Bridge and was aware that an extremely large number of young people were dying of drink, drugs and suicide. He tracked down his oldest friend, Cass, an alcoholic who had been given two years to live. The film is very moving, exploring the lives and motivations of some of the town's drug addicts and alcoholics, and looking at the effects on their lives and families without being voyeuristic or unduly intrusive. The affection felt by Jez Lewis for those he filmed is very apparent and I urge anyone who watches the film to watch the accompanying discussion with Nick Broomfield which tells us a little more about unfilmed events which occurred during the time the film was made, and the fate of some of those shown.
User Review - 10/10 by Liz BEverybody should watch this, a truly great documentary about a town with a drug, alcohol and suicide problem overlooked by a majority of its residents - very shocking and sad yet also very touching how much the film maker cares for the people he films - just an amazing piece of filmmaking
User Review - 8/10 by Richard AHonest, gripping portrayal of addiction and its effects. Heart-breaking scenes of recovery and relapse. Indirectly questions whether there's a down-side to the gentrification of economically depressed towns.
User Review - 8/10 by Colin HIt's like iv always said about the countryside... Good, honest, wholesome London I say...
User Review - 6/10 by Jean E18th August Sad documentary about drug additction, alcoholism, death and suicide in Hebden Bridge - interesting focus on the personal stories but could have explorated why this happening more fully...
