Every year, 4,000 Canadians die by suic-de. But thousands more make a different choice — they pick up the phone.
This full documentary titled The Lifeline: Stories from the Suicide Hotline / Crisis Hotline follows the volunteers at Toronto's Distress Centre — ordinary people trained to sit with extraordinary pain. Inside one of North America's busiest crisis lines, we witness raw, real calls as they happen: panic attacks, suicidal ideation, a mother terrified for her son. Through the stories of Sophia, Sandy, and others, we discover what it truly means to be heard at the edge of life.
A mental health documentary that doesn't look away.
