After a woman is assaulted by a mutual friend, she struggles to communicate with her best friend about what happened, leading to tragic consequences. Sexual assault and suicide are not common topics spoken in households. When we try to, we often get asked the wrong questions like: "What were you thinking going out looking like that? We told you not to go out late. Why did you do that? There's nothing wrong with you. Why are you complaining? Life's hard – so what?" We are making a short film that will bring to light the shame we feel and show the sudden and abrupt nature of suicide when trauma is not dealt with.
