The Suicide Of James Rider

How do you remember someone who takes his own life? That’s the question a small group of friends have to confront after the recent death of their close friend James Rider—the heart and soul of the group—who abruptly took his own life at the age of 28. Can they think fondly about all the things that made him worth remembering or will the stain of suicide forever overshadow his legacy?

My take

A raw, intimate examination of grief and remembrance that asks whether a life can be defined by something other than how it ends. For those ready to sit with difficult questions about loss, friendship, and what it means to honor someone's memory.
