A documentary on an awful subject, the death of a child, explores different parents’ take on grief, but it is limited in scope
Here’s an especially tricky film to assess. To see it is to risk feeling as though you are intruding upon some wounding, deeply personal loss. To rate it risks invalidating the participants’ grief. The plain facts are these: this is an independently funded and released documentary by Jimmy Edmonds and Jane Harris, a British couple whose son Josh died, aged 22, in a car accident while touring Ho Chi Minh city in 2011. In the ensuing years, the pair have travelled America, reaching out to fellow parents who’ve ended up in the unnatural position of having to bury their children, and inviting them to speak about the unspeakable.
Responses from tearful defeat to unending rage are collected and assembled, offset by those rituals of remembrance that the subjects find consoling: Jimmy,...

Produced and directed by parents Jimmy Edmonds and Jane Harris, this poignant documentary tells the stories of families who have lost their children suddenly and without much of a reason or explanation. It’s a heart-breaking film and there are no words to describe just how much emotion went into making this documentary.
Jimmy and Jane both lost their son Josh at the age of 22 as he was traveling through Vietnam in 2011. He was killed due to a road accident.

Here's your first dose of Real Housewives of Orange County goodness ahead of the new season.
There's a lot to unpack in the first trailer for season 11 of the Bravo show. Read on for (just a few) of the highlights.
The Brooks Drama Lives On
After last season's cancer drama surrounding Brook Ayers, Vicki Gunvalson tells the ladies she's moved on from her ex.
