Their Own Life at Palm Springs Cultural Center

Their Own Life

72 mins | Rated TBC


Their Own Life (Dutch, English) (72 min.) The heart gripping Their Own Life portrays three persons who survived a period of serious longing for suicide. Kris van der Veen was bullied in high school so intensely in his Christian community in the far north of the Netherlands, that he tried to take his life with pills when he was only 14 years old. Transgender woman Solange Dekker experienced no understanding of her narrow-minded family members and jumped of a high bridge twice. And Jean Passos heard from his Brazilian family that he was possessed by the devil after coming out as gay. Their Own Life is not only a taboo breaking film, but it is also most and for all a heart-breaking cry for change.
