This Much We Know
Set in the all-American city Las Vegas at the peak of a suicide epidemic, this film attempts to understand why Levi Presley, a happy and accomplished young man, suddenly jumped off the city’s tallest casino. That same week of his death, the United States Senate voted to permanently store the nation’s nuclear waste in Yucca Mountain - located just outside the city. Through interviews with the boy’s survivors, suicide experts, Yucca geologists, politicians, statisticians, and a psychic medium who talks to Levi’s spirit, this film actively struggles with the nature of facts, subjective realities, and how we are slowly losing our ability to make sense of facts and thus ourselves.
