"Following one showing of the film earlier this week, students opened up about the depth of their own struggles, said Ori Bello, a 16-year-old junior at Shenendehowa. The discussion didn’t glorify self-harm or depression, Bello said. Rather, it showed the students there is hope — and they are not alone," from Andrew Waite, The Daily Gazette.

NYYSBA's first in-person conference since 2019 will see a panel featuring the film's four subjects, as well as its director and producer.

Despite on ongoing pandemic, the documentary's message of hope reached a large audience on its opening weekend. Between two limited YouTube screenings, the film drew in over 1000 views. One commenter called it, "powerful," and "impactful," adding, "I hope a lot of people see it."
