In this intimate and incredibly moving documentary, we meet Ezra, a spirited and engaging teenager who loves making art and music, traveling, Judaism, and so much more. Through deeply personal interviews with Ezra’s family, friends, and teachers, we learn about this remarkable young man, his impact on those who love him, and the devastating loss they feel now that he is gone. We also gain a no-holds-barred insight into teenage suicide and the seemingly incomparable challenges faced by those left behind. This is a must-see film—one that is ultimately filled with compassion, beauty, hope, and love.
