This Much We KnoW

Directed and Edited by L. Frances Henderson

Based on the book About a Mountain by John D’Agata

Grieving the suicide of a close friend, a filmmaker travels out to Las Vegas at the peak of a suicide epidemic in an attempt to study the issue and find answers. There, she comes across the story of Levi Presley, a happy and accomplished young man, who 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. Adapted from the book About a Mountain by John D’Agata, this free-wielding documentary explores the hidden waste of the American dream. Through interviews with the boy’s survivors, suicide experts, Yucca Mountain geologists, politicians, statisticians, and a psychic medium who talks to Levi’s spirit this film explores the struggle to find answers to great unknowns.
