| Summary |
After losing a close friend to suicide, a group of college students from the University of Missouri was determined to enact positive change. They quickly formed a nonprofit awareness raising collective movement: Wake Up. Their educational initiatives help shift the cultural stigma surrounding mental illness, depression and suicide. The film focuses on four different groups, telling the stories of suicide -- American veterans, members of the LGBT community, university students, and gun owners, weaving the experiences of the frontlines heroes together. Wake Up confronts the tragedy with a call for action: a dialogue and legislative change to begin the process of improving the world |
