Moving America’s Soul On Suicide
"Millions struggle every day, yet America shrugs. Time for hope."
Synopsis
Tragedy doesn’t always happen to someone else, but even if it did, would you help if you could? “Anyone can get broken.” The words effortlessly formed by a marine who once did not believe them himself, until a tragic plane crash sent his life down a path he never thought possible. A teenage girl who doesn’t expect to grow up, and lacks the will to do so. A young boy tormented by his own spiraling thoughts he could not control. These are just a few of the thousands of stories that far too often end in heartbreak for family and friends. Silouan, Tonja, Kevin, Misha, Craig, and Ally each share their remarkable stories of triumph over trauma, pain, and mental health challenges. Follow them as Dr. Thomas Joiner takes a look into what leads a person to these dark places, but more importantly, how to help them find their way back.

Happy is a 2011 feature documentary film directed, written, and co-produced by Roko Belic. It explores human happiness through interviews with people from all walks of life in 14 different countries, weaving in the newest findings of positive psychology. Director Roko Belic was originally inspired to create the film after producer/director Tom Shadyac (Liar, Liar, Patch Adams, Bruce Almighty) showed him an article in the New York Times entitled "A New Measure of Well Being From a Happy Little Kingdom". The article ranks the United States as the 23rd happiest country in the world. Shadyac then suggested that Belic make a documentary about happiness. Belic spent several years interviewing over 20 people, ranging from leading happiness researchers to a rickshaw driver in Kolkatta, a family living in a "co-housing community" in Denmark, a woman who was run over by a truck, a Cajun fisherman, and more.
