Looking for Luke - Film and Conversation
Organized by the Harvard Asian American Alumni Alliance (H4A) and Veritas Education Leaders

Luke Tang was a well-liked, passionate and brilliant Harvard sophomore who took his family and friends by surprise when he decided to take his own life. “Looking for Luke” is a short documentary following Luke’s parents, Wendell and Christina, as they attempt to understand why he did this by reading through his journals and talking to his closest friends. As they piece together what happened, they begin to uncover the truth about their son’s death through the realization of depression as a mental illness.
Luke’s parents have made it their mission to help other parents, particularly Asian parents, identify and understand the signs and signals of depression and other behavioral health disorders that can lead to suicide.
This short film hopes to extend that mission by raising awareness of depression as an illness and destigmatizing seeking help for mental health issues, two topics of incredible relevance and concern today at college campuses across the country. Two psychiatrists from Harvard will be at the event to answer any questions or concerns people have about the film. We look forward to seeing you on 9/30!
This is a free screening, but you must register in advance. Seats are limited, please register early or before 9/25!
