Movies That Matter: WAKE UP

Showings

Description

Wake Up interweaves the stories of four very different communities affected by suicide — college students, veterans, the LGBT community, and gun owners. Rather than laboring on tragedy and despair, Wake Up focuses on the leaders on the frontlines of prevention, leaving viewers feeling hopeful, informed, and encouraged. It also powerfully illustrates how positive change can be achieved when compassion is practiced over prejudice — an important and timely lesson.

Panelists will include Dr. Robert Landy, a local psychologist specializing in caring for Veterans with mental health concerns, and Lonzo Morgan, winner of the 2024 Stand Up for Justice Educators award for his work at Immokalee Middle School as a school counselor focusing on suicide prevention.
