WATCH ROMAN KEMP: OUR SILENT EMERGENCY

Roman Kemp: Our Silent Emergency is a candid and personal exploration of mental health and suicide in young men. Roman Kemp’s life changed dramatically with the sudden and unexpected death of his best friend, radio producer, Joe Lyons. This timely documentary sees Roman taking a closer look at the urgent issue of young men’s mental health, exploring why increasing numbers are taking their own lives and the reasons why so many of them never ask for help.

Wanting to find some answers in a difficult time, Roman explores what can be done to encourage people to seek help, what preventative action we need to be taking and the lasting impact that mental health and suicide have on friends and families. This is a film about Roman’s generation of young men and how he himself could help start a dialogue, to help those who are struggling in silence.
