'Lives Brought to a Standstill'

Director’s Cut — English version

4 min.

Created with 113 Suicide Prevention and the Dutch railway sector, this film explores the distance between suicidal thoughts and reality, the far-reaching impact of suicide on the railway, and how human connection can offer a different perspective. Developed through extensive research and conversations with people who have experienced suicidal thoughts, every thought expressed in the voice-over is rooted in their personal accounts.
