Director Eric Steel and his crew spent an entire your looking carefully at the Golden Gate Bridge. Running cameras for almost every daylight minute, they documented close to two dozen suicides, and many of the near fatal moments that took place. This powerful imagery is accompanied by incredibly frank, often heart-wrenching interviews with families, friends, witnesses, and several of the surviving attempters. The Bridge provides a visual and visceral journey into one of life's gravest taboos.
Reviews: "4 Stars. Brave and unflinching, unshakably haunting and deeply mysterious" -Jim Emerson, Chicago Sun-Times "This is one of the most moving and brutally honest films about suicide ever made....This is an impressive piece of work." -Stephen Holden, New York Times "Steel exercises appropriate visual restraint and sensitively interviews relatives, friends and lovers of the victims....Recommended, if sobering viewing." -Tom Dawson, Total Film "The footage lends the picture a thematic force far beyond its initial shock value." -Ryan Gilbey, Sight and Sound
