The documentary is part of Mental Health Awareness Month
The HeartSupport has released a 15-minute documentary about the return of As I Lay Dying . Lead singer Tim Lambesis served two years in prison after ordering the murder of his wife.
HeartSupport – founded by Jake Luhrs , vocalist of August Burns Red – explained the decision through its website.
“In books and movies, we love a redemption story. We love stories where our heroes fail only to grow stronger. In real life, however, we find this concept difficult. In the digital age, we glorify shame and judgment. But, at our core, all people want to be loved and ask us to believe that they can change.”.
“At HeartSupport, when someone fails, struggles with addiction, succumbs to self-loathing, or relapses, but chooses to change, we call that Post-Traumatic Growth. There’s a fine line between those who say they want to change and those who do something about it. In the story of As I Lay Dying, we see a group of people embracing change, going against their past, growing, and helping others.”
The band also commented on the video's release via social media. “In the spirit of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’ve teamed up with HeartSupport to release this video. We detail more of the personal side of our experiences over the past few years. We want to share part of our story through a foundation that exists to provide emotional support for anyone dealing with inner turmoil. Be it addiction, suicidal thoughts, depression, or abuse. We believe in the community they’ve created to connect us with those in need of recovery and healing.”
