The Suicide Chronicles seeks to develop a collective, creative language to share the infinitely complex and multi-layered experience of suicide.
Full of Grace has been made over the past year by Pete Johnson with Mark Storor and a group of artists who have come together to tell this story. Through this Chronicle, Pete shares his personal story of searching for the mother he lost to suicide when just a baby. His search led him to his father and to his own family. It is a hymn to love.
In November last year, Pete performed an aspect of his experience to a small invited audience. It was a moving, intimate, and deeply personal sharing.
The film Full of Grace allows us to share this moment with others. It acknowledges that the journey following bereavement by suicide is an ongoing one which can throw into question how to be in the world, as different layers of grief unfold alongside the glimmers of light that can break through, carrying with them rays of hope, of fortitude and of love.
