The Bridge

This documentary has a very simple concept yet it is an extraordinarily powerful film. I had no idea so many people commited suicide jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge every year. This documentary captures these acts by setting up four or five cameras to pan and scan across the bridge all day looking for jumpers.

What I found equally as powerful was the interviews with the friends and families of the suicide victims. It was fascinating to hear why they believed these people committed suicide and why it was at the Golden Gate Bridge. This is a must see.
