Title
Shannon Amen
Description
Note: This film contains suicidal imagery.
A touching tribute to the director’s friend Shannon Cara Jamieson, whose struggle with balancing her religious faith and sexuality contributed to her eventual suicide. The short contains a multitude of examples of Shannon’s work, including her music, art, photography, and video recordings.
In an article about the film on NFB's blog, Shannon also viewed herself as queer, and I have included that tag for this work.
