What has Roman Kemp said about his documentary?
Talking about why he wanted to investigate male mental health, Roman said it’s something he’d been planning for years but it wasn’t until the sudden loss of best friend Joe that gave him the push to make the documentary.
In the film he travels across the UK speaking to mates of people who have died by suicide and mental health experts about what can be done to help.
He says in one clip: "I remember just saying, 'that's it I can't sit and have the platform that I have and not do anything.'
"I wanted to show the confusion [and] the anger. Because that's the reality, the reality is the people that you leave behind.
"I used this film as my own therapy. I can't even remember it. I just remember crying a lot. It was really hard. It's still hard now."
