“This film has tremendous value as a tool of education, awareness, and prevention related to suicide among LGBTQ youth.
Whispers of Life should be a resource in schools of all levels, community settings, and in health-related programs aimed to
promote education about sexual and gender diversity.”- Treena Orchard, Faculty of Health Sciences, Western University

WHISPERS OF LIFE

Grades 7-Adult 2013 11 min CC Turbid Lake Pictures
Whispers of Life, a new Canadian award-winning production, is inspired by the onslaught of publicized gay, teen suicides. This short
film works as an artistic intervention to challenge the societal taboo of suicide, the pervasive and damaging effects of anti-gay bullying
and the fact that these issues are not discussed openly.

In this magical story about the interdependence of imagination and survival, Tom, a gay teenager, is threatened by a bully’s
homophobic words. As Tom sits with angst on his park bench, a stranger named Charles suddenly appears next to him. Charles strikes
up a conversation with Tom that forever alters the course of his future and life.
