Lucy: Breaking the Silence (2018)

What lies behind the selfie? Beautiful and gifted Lucy, seemed to have everything to live for, but suicide is no respecter of persons. Behind a facade of selfies and social media likes, life was not all it appeared to be for the young gregarious 22 year old. This film explores the life and moments leading up to Lucy's untimely death by suicide. Using archive footage of Lucy and interviews with those who were closest to her, the film invites the audience behind the mask. In addition, professionals and others touched by suicide begin to expose the staggering reality of the issue. Whilst exploring the answer to the question "Why?" another important story emerges, as we listen to the voices of those left behind. Insofar as questions are being asked, the impact on each one of those lives emerges; lives that have been forever changed, due to one catastrophic decision, on one fateful day.
