Don’t Let Depression Steal Your Color

Submitted by: Aniya Branch on January 31, 2016

The film began as an assignment for our high school TV Production class and turned out much better than we expected. Therefore, we decided to share it with as many people as possible in order to help those struggling with depression.

 

In this short film, my group and I depict the ranging emotions one suffers when dealing with depression. The video uses color and black and white scenes to show just how draining depression can be on someone who is suffering with the illness. However, there are outlets for one to seek help when they are suffering through dire times of sadness and hopelessness. We include a link to the Suicide Prevention Lifeline website (suicidepreventionlifeline.org) as well as a number (1-800-273-TALK) in order to provide a way for those suffering from depression to prevent making life-altering decisions due to feelings of despair. Everyone's life is valuable, as well as the things that one offers to the world. Don't let depression drain your spirit. Don't let depression steal your color.
