Calling all N.E.D. heads!

There are still a few tickets available (but going fast!) for N.E.D.’s upcoming concert on December 6th at The Cutting Room. The show starts at 7:45 pm.

Taking healing and arts to a new level, N.E.D.’s mission is to raise awareness and education of women’s cancers through the healing power of music. We were honored to be able to work with this band of rock doctors on our documentary No Evidence of Disease the Movie, and we continue to be inspired by their commitment to women’s health and to breaking the silence surrounding gynecologic cancers.

Get your tickets and learn more at https://wl.eventim.us/event/NED-or-No-Evidence-of-Disease/654428?afflky=TheCuttingRoom&fbclid=IwY2xjawOa0jBleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFvcmtxcVVHVXhsVlA4S0Vyc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHgFWNjSIbrdb1gGitovWFvBmVCBxTv2jDiHzehsmPVjMSHxmjC-kkgPrqmYC_aem_fF5MD2bHxCFxnUc-GCZf-w

Today is International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day, a day in which survivors of su***de loss come together to find connection, understanding and hope through their shared experience.

For some, it’s a day to talk about the person they lost. For others, it’s a chance to listen. But more than anything else, it’s about supporting each other.

Shining a light on the all-too-often stigmatized topics of mental health and su***de is the reason we produced Scattering CJ and why we organized the Stronger Together virtual event, presented in partnership with The Mighty.

Produced in 2020, Stronger Together's goal was to inspire meaningful and impactful dialogue about mental wellness and su***de prevention. This discussion is just as important now as ever.

You can watch the full event here:

It’s no surprise to us! Ceiri wrote such a beautiful score for our documentary Scattering CJ and we’re thrilled to see his music reach new audiences with Delhi Crime.
