Drawing from Life - DVD
Description
How do people learn to live rather than to die?
Drawing from Life follows a group therapy workshop for people
who have attempted to end their lives more than once.
A hybrid of vérité documentary and animation, this unusual film's visual
metaphors illuminate the thoughts and feelings of its participants. This
candid portrayal of twelve people who together, for 20 weeks, take on their
fears, their behaviours and their ghosts to move towards life and away from
suicide.
It’s a surprisingly uplifting and universal story about what it means to
be alive.
Drawing from Life is a production of the National Film Board of
Canada Filmmaker-in-Residence project, produced with the creative
participation of Seneca College of Applied Arts & Technology, Animation Arts
Centre.
