This book explores the depiction of suicide in American youth films
from 1900 to 2019. Anchored in Sociology, this multidisciplinary
study investigates the causes and consequences of suicide and
uncovers the socio-cultural context for the development of youth,
film, and suicide. While such cinematic portrayals seem to
privilege external explanations of suicide versus internal or
psychological ones, overall they are neither rich nor sensitive.
Most are simplistic, limited or at the very least unbalanced. At
times, they are flatly controversial. In light of this overall
problematic depiction of suicide, this book offers a proactive
approach to empower young audiences-a media literacy strategy to
embrace while watching these films.
