Summary:
The story of the people who have chosen to end their lives at the Golden Gate Bridge.
"In 2004, 24 people jumped to their deaths from the Golden Gate Bridge. More people have chosen to end their lives at the Golden Gate Bridge than anywhere else in the world."--End titles. What makes the suicides at the bridge so unusual is that they take place in broad daylight, in front of people in a busy place - unlike most suicides, which are enacted in extreme privacy. Filmmaker Eric Steel and his crew spent 2004 filming the bridge during daylight hours from two locations, grappling with the ethical question of when to alert authorities, and their responsibilities as observers. The film features interviews with the families and friends of some of the victims that year, as well as one person who changed his mind. Offering a glimpse into one of the darkest, most impenetrable corners of the human mind, the film also interrogates society's ability to blithely ignore the grim realities of depression, mental illness, and drug abuse that underly so many suicides. These are only some of the factors discussed by the film, common to the twenty four people who died at the Golden Gate Bridge in 2004, who are now linked together forever by a 4 second fall in an otherwise magically, mysteriously beautiful place.
More people have chosen to end their lives at the Golden Gate Bridge than anywhere else in the world. For The Bridge, director Eric Steel and his crew shot for every day of 2004, from dawn until dusk, capturing most of the 24 suicides that year and many of the unrealized attempts - and helped to save several lives. They filmed hours of heart-wrenching interviews with the families and friends of these suicides, with witnesses who were walking or driving across the bridge, and with several of the attempters themselves. The Bridge provides a visual and visceral journey into one of life's gravest taboos, offering glimpses into the most impenetrable corners of the human mind. The fates of these 24 people are linked together at the bridge and by a 4 second fall, but their lives seem to have been moving on parallel arcs all along. ---Cover
