The Bridge


I saw this on IFC. It's about people who choose the Golden Gate Bridge to end their lives. This director filmed for a full year (2004) and captured 24 of the jumps on camera. They also added in interviews with people who attempted it, the survivors of those that did it, and witnesses that were on the bridge when it happened.

This isn't some morbid "FACES OF DEATH" kind of shiz. It's professionally done with really insightful interviews. What's interesting is the pattern of behaviors that most of these people showed (according to their friends and family) prior to jumping. Watch the full thing here.

I watched this whole documentary the other day and it really shook me up. And the interviewees really annoyed the fuck out of me.
