The Bridge

Why: Read an article about it

When I have free time at work (which is a rarity) I like to read news sites. I found an article on this documentary about people who commit suicide off of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The guy who created this film had different cameras constantly recording the bridge for I think the span of a year. He wanted to capture these instances. It sounds morbidly disturbing but it is really interesting. It's not just bodies constantly jumping off of the bridge.

Families and friends of the jumpers tell their stories of what the people were like and what mental state they had been in before they jumped and most of them believe the jumpers are now at peace. Even one of the jumpers lived to tell and talks about his experience.

Overall, a very dark yet interesting film. Nothing gory. You only see them fly through the air and hit the water. Only seeing a splash and nothing else.
