At 22, Jazz Thornton had survived multiple suicide attempts. 

Now 25, she's a global mental health campaigner, she’s spoken in front of the UN General Assembly, and a movie has just been released about her journey as a campaigner against suicide.

It's out this week, and it's called The Girl on the Bridge. Jazz has been in the studio with Jack Tame.
