Hope exists — this is Jazz Thornton’s message. The author, filmmaker and young New Zealander of the year is living proof. After overcoming childhood abuse and depression, Jazz went on to help change the conversation around suicide. She shares why she forgave her bullies, how she learnt to handle conflict, and the difference between surviving life’s struggles and fighting for change.
