Keeping HopeSeptember 10, 2023

Mark Coles Smith, an Indigenous actor who grew up in the Kimberley in Australia's far northwest, returns home to try to discover why it has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. This is a subject that is close to Mark's heart - his best friend committed suicide when he was just 23. On his journey, Mark meets some remarkable people directly affected by suicide and who are now making a real difference in suicide prevention. He also faces up to his own loss and questions how others can learn from it.
