Every 31 hours someone takes their own life by jumping in front of a train. They are ten times more likely to be male. 31 Hours is the story of four men who clean up after rail suicides. It is a story of four men at work. Four men at home. Four men dealing with their own lives. Their own problems. Dealing with them in their own way. On their own. Silently. It is a story of four men failing to talk. Filled with humour and humanity, it is a high-speed kaleidoscopic journey through masculinity, mental health and messy aftermaths in modern Britain.
