Teens today are hurting. As school begins there is a national movement to bring hope and healing onto school campuses across North America (and beyond) through the powerful indie-movie, To Save A Life. When To Save A Life was in theaters it impacted 500,000+ teens and caregivers. Now as the movie is released on DVD, our goal is to have the movie shown somewhere close to every teen in America! During the week of September 6-12 join tens of thousands of teens, youth groups, churches, schools parents and ministries by hosting a showing of the movie To Save A Life and start to influence change in the world around you.
Be part of this national movement and save lives in your community! 2

I thought about killing myself. I cut. … My life is just messed up. This movie helped me a lot in realizing that my life is worth living and that there are many people who care about me. And committing suicide would just be the easy way out.
