Not an easy movie to watch ,but you really get the picture what its like about these things. Poor dude.

I'm thankful that Dana shared her story. My heartaches for her and her family, I can't imagine what it was like for Evan. It boggles my mind how a 7yo can suffer from depression, but I know it happens. It' just hard to fathom. What I find even more interesting is how much the family appreciated Wellspring. I recall various locations of Wellspring had authorities investigating them for practices and methods. Several parents had filed complaints about their abuse, mental and physical.

I found this to be a very interesting movie on the different dynamics of families around us. Everyone is different, and I did not in any way, shape or form find anything disagreeable about the family. Grief takes on different meanings to everyone, and their method of grieving just happens to be doing what they do best- film making. While I didn't see this as a video that would stop any would-be suicides, I did see it as a video that enlightens people into the world of depression and suicide that aren't feeling depressed. More than informative, though, I found this to be entertaining in a deep way- deep in the way that you'd expect the parents of the teen to be. I now can say definitively that I will be better equipped to deal with depression if it ever pops up in the lives of my children or anyone around me, and I have this movie to thank. This story isn't one I'll soon forget. This is somewhat of a tangent, but I did find myself wondering how incredibly loaded the father's side of the family was. . .

Not just from losing Evan, but the loss of Scott-an Uncle he never had the pleasure of meeting. I was thinking at one point if only Scott had lived, Evan would have had someone who truly understood how he felt. Having a Special Needs child myself (Bi-Polar, Depression, ADHD etc are special needs)this film both moved me and terrified me. When my son was 12 he wanted to commit suicide, explaining to his therapist that what prevented him from doing it was knowing how much it would hurt me, and also that his late Step-Father, who died in 2005 from heart issues, had no choice but to die and it left my son with a certain reverence and respect for life in the process. At now, almost 14-he's doing fine-for now. I know from being a parent that doing fine is ALWAYS a "for now" and this documentary shows it. The filmmakers were, in my opinion no way exploiting their late son, in a way they were spreading a message about depression/Bi-Polar, as well as coping with their loss. That loss was very, very real-they even documented the funeral. Evan-from an outsiders point-of-view, was a smart, handsome and talented child who was, sadly, born with a pre-disposition to feel things 100x more than a normal human being-with that empathy came depression, moods, jaded mentality and it was simply too much for him to bear. His father, having experienced the loss of Scott, as well as the paternal Grandparents-their pain was so overwhelming, I did cry watching them dealing with Evan's suicide,memories of Scott's suicide. I hope this film brought some closer for the Perrys. I hope it is watched and maybe, perhaps will prevent another family they'll most likely never meet help their own child. God bless them for being so brave to do this documentary and I hope it brought them even a small amount of peace.

I don't know how on earth no one in the family could tell how horrendous the Evan's "psychiatrist" was. I'm NAD but he is an absolute quack and shouldn't be practicing and treating patients. He calls Evan "crazy" multiple times, allows his patient to dictate whether he will take his lithium for bipolar disorder, stating "he doesn't need it anymore". It's not a curable mental illness wtf!! Are you kidding me?!!?! He is partly to blame for Evan's death and I'm so sorry to his family. He's up there with Dr. Death. He had the nerve to be on this documentary... shame on you, Ladd Speigel!!!!

As a person who suffers from depression, I found way too many similarities in our two lives. This story is sad if for no other reason, the signs were there early enough but the remedies were not. No parent should have to bury their child. This movie was a Great Example of the progression of a disease, The footage was amazing and gives an excellent look into the life of this young man. This film should be used in colleges in psychology classes.

Would not recommend this as an informative documentary. While watching it it's important to question the things that Evan's parents are saying about his mental illness as I found their comments to be quite unsettling. I felt much sympathy for him and saw aspects of myself reflected in his experience, but the parents and the doctors surrounding him seem entirely misled on what having a mental illness actually is, i.e. It's not simply a kid behaving badly on purpose to torture his parents. All I see is a child completely misunderstood by those around him and them responding with "I don't understand why he's acting this way !!!"

I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Though I saw it last year, I still can't get it out of my mind. It shows the hardships of dealing with a child with a mental disorder, yet shows it in such a way that you are left going "Wow, that was absolutely beautiful" instead of rolling your eyes. I rarely cry during a film, but this did it for me. Like others said, it did provide more than just the parent's and the family's points of view, because when someone takes their own life, it does affect everyone around them and not just immediate family. I liked how the director, Evan's mother, went into detail with the possible cause of his obsession with suicide (his uncle's own self-inflicted fate), the whole documentary was very real and down to earth. It did leave you with many emotions. For me, the first was grief. Grief because I felt like I had gotten to know this boy over the 92 moments I had been watching his life, his childhood. Then I felt frustration. Frustration for how this boy was getting all of this medical and mental help without getting better. Lastly, there was anger. I immediately blamed his physicians for his death. Doctors and therapists who have dealt with depression victims before should know the signs of thoughts of suicide. When he asked to be taken off the Lithium, they should have been suspicious, not just give him the o.k. But those are my personal views, and this is about the film. I can say that I doubt I'll ever be so moved by a documentary again, this piece of work will make you hug whoever else may be in the room and tell them you love them.
