This docudrama is about the rise from the ashes of darkness and
despondency into a new life of light and hope. Jude is a story of a
man spiralling downward into a pit of despair. With his world falling
apart and the breakup with his fiancé, he slides into a repressive abyss
of life-draining hopelessness. His relationships disintegrate, and
his focus turns inward as he struggles to keep from drowning. Jude
desperately tries to hold his world and sanity together, not realizing
his self-destructive actions are drawing him into his eventual
annihilation through suicide.
He survives a well-thought-out, planned and executed attempt
by throwing himself in front of a speeding train. Through his long,
protracted, painful emotional and physical recovery, his life is
transformed by the intervention of a few helping hands and the aid of
a charitable organization. His journey to recovery is cemented in his
outgoing actions of giving of himself to the helping of others.
Jude’s experience is now manifested as a guiding light.
