DESCRIPTION:Please join us at 2pm for “Talk Saves Lives followed by “Tales of Harsh Gruder” a darkly comic yet deeply moving short (30 min.) film that stimulates important conversations about depression\, disillusionment\, and suicidal thoughts without didactic heavy-handedness. The very real\, often comical\, complicated and sometimes contradictory actions and circumstances confronting the film’s main characters provokes questions not simple answers – this is no morality play\, nor an instructional video. A community Conversation will follow
