Suicide: But Jack Was a Good Driver

• 1974 ----- color ----- 14 min ----- 16mm
• Officially, Jack died in an automobile accident. But just how "accidental" was it? Two of Jack's classmates began to wonder. They start backward, reconstructing the meetings and conversations with Jack over the past month, reflecting on his moods and pointed statements. Slowly, painfully, the two boys realize that the possibility of suicide is a very real one. Suicide by young people is at an alarmingly high rate; perhaps because their pain and guilt often go unreleased or unrecognized.
• Topics: (Adolescence, Family Life, Psychology: Clinical/Counseling)
