What Haunts Us

About This Movie

What Haunts Us is a chilling documentary that really digs into the psychological aftermath of a tragic series of events within a specific high school class. The film follows Paige Goldberg Tolmach as she unpacks the haunting reality that six out of 49 boys from the 1979 Porter Gaud School class have taken their own lives. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, as it explores themes of grief, mental health, and the complexities of masculinity within a seemingly privileged environment. The pacing is methodical, allowing for a deeper reflection on the narratives of those left behind. Tolmach's candid approach and the raw emotions on display make this a distinctive piece that doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths.
