My Sister Liv

Two inseparable sisters. One lost to suicide. A family's journey through grief and the search for answers about teen mental health and social media.

My Sister Liv is the story of Tess and Liv, inseparable sisters growing up in Boulder. As Liv enters adolescence and struggles with the relentless pressures of social media, depression, body dysmorphia, and suicidal thoughts, her big sister Tess tries to save her. The film is a rare and riveting journey into Liv’s raw emotions as a young life on the edge, and follows the family as they learn to cope after unthinkable loss.
