Life After Suicide

Documentary. Angela Samata explores why some people take their own lives and how those who love them come to terms with the loss.

Eleven years ago Angela Samata was an ordinary mother of two living in Birkenhead. Then her partner Mark took his own life. In this film, Angela goes on a journey around Britain to meet others who have suffered a similar loss and explores why, when suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK, we are still so afraid of talking about it.
