OSHER GÜNSBERG: A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH

Australia is often thought of as “the lucky country”. So why is it that nine people a day die from suicide? The situation is nothing short of a national crisis. Yet the experts agree that there are ways we can be better dealing with the issues.

First broadcast on SBS in September 2021, landmark feature-length documentary Osher Günsberg: A Matter of Life and Death explores Australia’s suicide crisis and investigates how new science, innovative thinking and technology could help prevent suicide. Osher will reflect on his own mental health experiences while examining why suicide rates remain high in Australia, and what is being done across the country to try to make a difference.

“Reaching out to another human being was the thing that saved my life. It’s so important to understand that you’re not alone…”  Osher Günsberg
