This inspiring documentary tells the stories of six people, aged 21 to 73, who returned from the brink of suicide and
transformed their despair into a journey of healing. We meet a retired white physician who longs to join his beloved wife after she dies of cancer; a young white woman who is afraid to tell her homophobic family that she is a lesbian; a Mexican American man drawn to the "collective suicide" of inner city gang violence; a white saleswoman and mother addicted to risky behavior; a Native American man whose family refused to believe he had been a victim of incest; and an African American woman who turned to drugs and alcohol after being raped as a teenager and later abused by the husband she hoped would save her. In candid and intimate interviews, each explains what led them to the brink of suicide, what stopped them, and the different healing methods they found including support groups, therapy, creative writing, spirituality, and artistic expression.
