On April 28, 2009 our son Ezra took his life, one month shy of his seventeenth birthday. Our very close family of four, cut to three. The pain of losing our sweet boy was beyond words. My husband Moshe, a life-long musician, was unable to touch a piano - the medium that had been his expression of life was silent. In an effort to regain a sense of purpose, he turned to film to tell our story. In collaboration with our dear friend and brilliant filmmaker Walter Schlomann, we began a new journey. We laid out two goals for this project - to pay homage to Ezra’s life, and to use the film as a resource for communities to discuss mental health and suicide.

Ezra was a gifted artist whose passions and voice are imprinted in his drawings, collages, paintings, musical compositions, and journals. In this award winning film, as we unravel the story of Ezra’s life and death through his work and the words of those closest to him, we gain a heartfelt, personal, no-holds-barred insight into teenage suicide, and surviving its aftermath. This moving and impactful story is designed to be used for mental health education and awareness, as well as the host of issues associated with teenage suicide - including the incomparable challenges facing those who are left behind.
