What it is:

Last Seven Days is a feature-length low budget independent film that follows a U.S. Army Veteran as he contemplates a planned suicide attempt. While documenting his journey over the course of a week, he finds unlikely saviors in acquaintances and strangers, and eventually reconsiders his plan.
After completion of the film, the Jewkes Foundation will partner with local VA branches and Veteran services non-profits to hold mental health screening events in which the film will be shown, followed by qualifying Veterans needing treatment for mental health services. Similarly, the Jewkes Foundation will sponsor premieres at interested high schools, with a panel discussion on suicide prevention with mental health professionals.

Film Synopsis

Christopher Jones is a U.S. Army Veteran who’s been unhappy for awhile. After deciding he’s going to end his life, he begins a video log to document each day leading up to his planned suicide.
​
As the week progresses day by day, Chris begins to find purpose and meaning to his life, finds unsuspecting saviors through acquaintances and strangers alike, and undergoes a complete transformation as he ultimately decides to not end his life.
