MY SUICIDE
by David Lee Miller USA 2008 Digital Betacam 105 min. OV Germ. ST
Archie Williams is a 17-year old media geek who has suddenly found himself the most talked-about kid in school. He has announced that he's going to kill himself - on camera - for a class project. His classmates, parents, Sierra - the most beautiful girl in school, and a "Shady Bunch" of shrinks, doctors, pill-pushers, and counselors descend on Archie. Some are hoping to save him, some want to imitate him, others try to push him over the brink.
Archie films every moment of his high school experience, hiding nothing from his audience: realities of life, death, violence, sex, drugs, and the intense media overload that bombard all teenagers. Is Archie really suicidal – or is he merely seeking attention, and searching for some higher reality and love?
