By Kiana Wilburg When 19-year-old Glenda McCurdy made the decision to sever ties with her lover, 22-year-old Terry Alexander, he refused to accept rejection. Overcome with heartache, he ensured that McCurdy, the woman he was dangerously in love with, paid for her decision with her life. In February last, he shot her in the chest. Minutes later, he killed himself with a bullet to the head.The first suicide case for 2016 spoke of a different scenario.Twenty-year-old Deeraj Persaud and Sherry Ann Ally, 14, of Lonsdale and Brother’s Village, East Bank Berbice respectively were sure that they were in love. In fact, Ally was expecting her first child. But their relationship came to a tragic end. In January last, they were found by relatives hanging from ropes in Persaud’s bedroom.Investigators believed that the couple might have committed suicide after the relationship was not approved by Ally’s family.However, the death of 22-year-old Roshinee Pagwah remains shrouded in mystery. She was a ‘hip” young woman from Berbice who was full of potential and “seemed” happy. But when she took a plunge to death off of the Kaieteur Falls, it caught her friends and family members by surprise. What was even more unbelievable and hard to digest was the fact that Pagwah was planning her death days in advance.The aforementioned are just part of the innumerable instances of suicide that are reported to the authorities.While there have been a number of efforts geared towards suicide prevention and awareness, a team of professional filmmakers and producers will dare to take a thought-provoking and daring approach.They aim to expose the horrifying and naked realities of suicide in Guyana through a ground breaking, investigative documentary on the issue.Their hope is to showcase all sides to the social ill in hopes of pushing policy makers into meaningful action while educating the wider Guyanese community.THE TEAMThe folks involved in this challenging but meaningful project includes; Co-Directors and Filmmakers; Dan Honegger and Cory Cross; and Executive Producer and Fixer Kevin Daby.According to their website www.kickstarter.com; Honeggar uses his imaginative approach in developing photos and films on commercial, creative, and independent projects.

He holds a Baccalaureate of Fine Arts Degree in Graphic Design from Florida Atlantic University.

In addition to providing a medium for local people to tell their stories, the team said that this film will examine Guyana’s current suicide prevention strategies. The film is expected to premier in February 2017.THE POLITICSThe idea of how measures by the political leaders of the day are making an impact in the suicide prevention drive will also be captured in the ambitious documentary.But truth be told, political sphere is also filled with its own fights when it comes to this social ill and in most cases, the discussions do not lead to a cohesive way forward with all political agents involved.In fact it was in early last month that People’s Progressive Party (PPP) Member, Dr. Vindhya Persaud brought a motion to the National Assembly on curbing the rise of the suicide rate in Guyana.The Opposition parliamentarian said that the incidence of suicide has been consistently increasing in 2016 with the younger members of the population taking or attempting to take their lives.
