Always Hope
Always Hope reminds us that on every journey there is always an opportunity to turn around. On Friday 26th November 2010, a last minute opportunity came up to make a short film about suicide. Well, actually, a short piece on hope. We wanted a simple concept; converging journeys and the opportunity to turn around, reach out and to talk. Suicide affects young men more than any age group, in fact, men are three times more likely to take their own life than women. Among men under the age of 35, suicide is the second most common cause of death. On every journey there is always an opportunity to turn around. Always hope.
