In this episode, Eliana talks to Alessandra Seggi about her book Youth and Suicide in American Cinema: Context, Causes, and Consequences. The book explores how American films about the youth from 1900 to 2019 portray suicide, often focusing on outside social pressures rather than personal or psychological struggles. These portrayals are frequently simplistic or one-sided, so the book encourages media literacy as a way to help young viewers better understand and question what they see on screen.
