First Look Clip: Here
As the U.S. approaches the one-year mark of COVID-19, the impact
on the mental health of young people - remote learning creating
physical isolation, missed activities and milestones, a racial
reckoning and a softening economy and job loss, among them - MTV
Documentary Films’ Each and Every Day from the Peabody®
Award-winning filmmaker Alexandra Shiva and producer Lindsey
Megrue, speaks with young people who have attempted suicide or had
suicidal ideations as they share their experiences and the ways
they have sought help.
Created in partnership with The Jed Foundation and executive
produced by Sheila Nevins, the film will air commercial-free on
MTV, Tuesday, February 16 at 9PM ET/PT.
In August 2020, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported
that a quarter of young adults have seriously contemplated suicide
during the pandemic.
The film features nine young people that span across race,
ethnic, religious and socio-economic backgrounds across the
country, sharing their personal stories in an intimate and engaging
conversation that goes deep into the fastest-growing epidemic among
teens and young adults today. Audiences not only hear their stories
of depression, anxiety and other mental health concerns, but also
see the uplifting message of hope, recovery and the importance of
treatment and honest conversation.
“Making this film I saw first hand the way young people are
dealing with their mental health challenges, including talking
openly about suicide,” said Shiva. “It inspires me and gives me
hope that young people don’t shy away from this issue, because
talking about it saves lives.”
“I am inspired by the film's compelling and honest stories
directly from young people that send a powerful message: anyone who
is hurting is not alone and that there is hope and help available,”
said Donna Satow, Co-Founder, The Jed Foundation.
The film marks Shiva’s first project with Nevins since the
Peabody Award®-winning How to Dance in Ohio about autistic
teenagers preparing for their spring formal. Her most recent film,
This is Home, a portrait of four Syrian refugee families arriving
in Baltimore, Maryland and struggling to find their footing,
premiered at The Sundance Film Festival in 2018 and won the
Audience Award for World Cinema Documentary.
MTV Documentary Films, whose first film St. Louis Superman was
nominated for an Oscar®, has a robust slate that includes: 76 Days
set deep inside the frontlines of the pandemic in Wuhan, Finding
Yingying, Beautiful Something Left Behind, American Selfie: One
Nation Shoots Itself, 17 Blocks The Final Cut, A Life Too Short and
