- Summary:
- When a parent commits suicide, he or she leaves behind a wake of pain and guilt for children and spouse. It may take years for the survivors to resolve their feelings; some never do. Louise Gallup, who made this film, was nine years old when her father shot himself. She and her brothers and sisters grew into productive human beings, upstanding members of the community. But they never spoke of the personal tragedy that engulfed their family. A Journey Back is a moving account of her coming to terms, fifteen years later, with her father s suicide. Despite the family s initial reluctance to talk about their traumatic experience, it is evident that the process of opening up communication has helped all of them.
