Lost my only child at 37 in June 2018 from untreated depression/alcoholism. Just like Cody, we had to keep him away at times.
Working as a Psychiatric Nurse, I’ve had empathy for so many of life’s worst scenarios. I’ve always felt I’m only 1 small step from experiences like them.
Films such as this are more of what we all need, to try on someone else’s shoes.
Thank you, for your work.
