The Calm
and The Storm
A feature-length documentary releasing in 2027
About The Movie
A young man stands on the edge of a bridge, high above the ocean. A police officer extends his hand in a last grasp of hope.
Each year, 50,000 lives are lost to suicide; on average, there is a suicide attempt every 11 seconds in the U.S. Yet within this complex and critical national crisis, one simple number could make all the difference: 988.
In the new documentary THE CALM AND THE STORM, we meet everyday Americans whose lives have been impacted by suicide, incredible advocates who have made this issue their life's mission, and unsung heroes who spend their days as a lifeline for those caught in the storm of hopelessness.
A necessary ray of hope in the darkest hours, this powerful film will challenge us, equip us and inspire us all to help turn the tide on suicide. Coming in 2027.
Suicide attempts in the United States since January 1, 2026. Behind every one of them is a person.
