Keeping Hope (2023)
Directed by Tyson Mowarin
“Mark Coles Smith faces down a traumatic event from his past in the hope of helping young First Nations men in the Kimberley.”
Documentary · 56m
Coles Smith, an actor and Nyikina man, grew up surrounded by the astounding beauty of the Kimberley. But there is deep heartache ingrained below the surface of this postcard-perfect landscape: the rate of suicide among the region’s young First Nations men is alarmingly high. For Coles Smith, these terrible statistics – some of the most troubling in the world – are more than just numbers; his best friend tragically took his own life when they were in their 20s. Keeping Hope follows his intensely personal search for answers and, hopefully, solutions.
