TO SAVE A LIFE wasn’t originally scheduled to open in Lincoln, Nebraska. But when youth worker Chris Hansen saw an advance showing in Omaha, he caught the vision. He recognized that TO SAVE A LIFE isn’t a preachy movie, but one embedded with powerful truths that can change lives. "It’s a movie every teenager in America should see," Hansen told the Lincoln Journal Star. "One of our hopes is to get the teenagers engaged, and that we as an adult community understand what is going on."

Texas youth worker Joe Echols has big ideas and dreams for bringing To Save A Life to his community south of Ft. Worth. They start and end with reaching out, connecting with people, and building relationships — often one at a time. "I cannot wait to see what God does with this," Echols says. "He has definitely stirred a passion in me that I haven’t felt in years." Echols shares insights about how others can build similar broad-reaching networks to reach out.

"If you don’t talk about these significant, real-life issues, your students probably won’t talk about them to you," says veteran youth worker Doug Fields. "At the same time, if you take a risk and create an environment where it’s safe to talk about pain, depression, hurts, and anxieties, etc., it won’t take long for your students to honestly pour out their hearts."
Youth worker Denny Drake doesn’t like Christian movies, but he loves a film that deals with faith in an authentic, relevant way. That’s why he helped to arrange an advance showing of TO SAVE A LIFE in Turlock, Calif. — and why he’s calling on teens to use the movie to make a difference on their campuses. "If by showing this movie it saves one person’s life, then our purpose has been served," Drake told The Turlock Journal.

In youth work, relationship is proximity. We can’t prevent a crisis in a kid’s life if no one is close enough to sense a disturbance. Effective crisis prevention engages a network of friends and caring adults who look out for each other and know each other well enough to sense when something is going wrong.
It’s our hope that teens, youth workers, parents, teachers, and other leaders will be moved by the movie To Save A Life and use it to reach out to build more relationships, more proximity, more support. What sorts of crises can such a network prevent?

Arguably the best and most successful skater ever, Tony Hawk is world famous now, but he was an outcast in high school. Hawk attended three different schools due his family’s moves, but at each he was the skinny skater kid who didn’t fit in. Fortunately he found his passion in skating and was able to look beyond social rejection.
Relationships are the central theme of To Save A Life. Depression, self injury, and suicide are serious issues teens are facing themselves or among their friends. And some of the characters in the film are also dealing with those issues. That’s why we’re partnering with 1-800-273-TALK (8255), the 24-hour hotline of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The free and confidential hotline is available 24/7 and connected to more than 140 crisis centers nationwide. You can call for yourself or for someone you care about.

The summer of ’09 is a record setter at the box office, led by movies like Transformers 2 and G.I. Joe. And that’s got even Stephen King asking what’s happening to American cinema? Maybe it’s time teens get more at the theater than exploding robots.
