Nearly 800,000 people worldwide kill themselves every year.
That’s more than 2,000 suicides per day and one death every 40 seconds. And it’s not even counting those who attempt suicide and fail. According to the World Health Organization, there are indications that for each adult who dies of suicide, more than 20 others attempt it.
Now, a new movie attempts to shine a light into the darkness of depression and bring hope to those who believe they have none. “EXIT: The Appeal of Suicide” is available for pre-release download beginning July 12.
The official trailer bills it as “a movie that will break your heart yet give you hope.” It attempts to reach out to those trapped in the throes of deep sadness and despair and point them toward a better way. The movie makers encourage viewers to share the film with those they love, in case someone they love is considering their own “exit” from this world.
WND founder and CEO Joseph Farah praised the movie, declaring, “‘EXIT’ is an absolute triumph!”
