Product Description

San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge is the most popular suicide destination in the world.

4.0 out of 5 starsA moving, brutal and poignant film
By David VINE VOICE on 13 Aug. 2007
Format: DVD
This is not an entertaining film - it's hard - it's brutal - and quite moving. This film is a real life film about suicides on the Golden Gate Bridge and how it affects people. Director Eric Steel actually filmed people jumping from the bridge. Now you could argue that this is a film that exploits the people affected by this - its not!! This is the story of the people who died and how it affected their family and friends. The shots of the people jumping are quite hard to watch especially since you know they died for real. Eric Steel has created a very moving film which shows the pain and misery that drives someone to end their life. I have given this film 4 stars rather than 5 because of the lack of extras - it would have been interesting to have a making of doccumentary where the director explains his motivations for making this film and how what he filmed affected him. As I said at the start of my review this isnt an entertaining film, don't expect to be entertained, instead you have 90 mins of thought provoking screen time.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Bridge
By F. A. Perry on 6 Aug. 2007
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This film has moved me more than any other I've watched. I've never felt the need to write a film review before until watching this film and so hope I do it justice.

This film has moved me deeply but it isn't a film my wife would like nor a film suitable for younger people as it is so shocking. It deals with the people who attempt or have committed suicide by way of jumping off the bridge and so the bridge is the prop in their deaths.

The bridge is used by all, tourists, commuters, people going about their business but it also attracts people who want certain death (but the director interviews a survivor who believes he is saved by a seal and so he was saved by God and so his live now has some meaning to it).

The families of the bereaved are interviewed and to some it came as a shock and to others who realised that suicide was inevitable, it was just a question of when but they felt helpless to prevent it. Some of the families seemed relieved in that their child or friend had ended the mental torment that they had lived with for endless years.

Some of the parents blamed themselves which was very heartbreaking, the fact that they loved their children sufficiently to take on board this responsibility and with this came the guilt that would live with them forever.

The film shows people using the bridge for recreation or site seeing and in some cases actual attempts at suicide, some of which are successful. The film gives no indication who is a potential jumper and who isn't and so it comes as a shock when it happens.

The viewer is left feeling helpless as I guess the police also feel, who have a presence on the bridge but are helpless to prevent the suicides.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsgreat film
By Leighann Mcvie on 15 Feb. 2008
Format: DVD
this film changed my whole view on suicide and mental illness, it gave the viewers a very quik insight to the anger and sadness these victims go through on a daily basis trying to deal with the pain of their feelings. the footage was very eerie, seeing people take one final jump and that was it finished for them, but they still left their pain behind with their family and friends. the bridge is a very powerful yet sad documentry, showing the ignorant people of this world that suicide is far from an easy way out..but a tragic but a very brave step in ending the mental torment these people have been going through each day. i strongly recomend this film be watched!!!

4.0 out of 5 starsA bridge to understanding?
By I. Curry VINE VOICE on 4 Dec. 2007
Format: DVD
Eric Steel's documentary on suicide and the people who jump to their deaths from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is nothing if not provocative and divisive. In the mainstream media it has had good, four to five star reviews, or appalling single star ones.

Admittedly and inevitably, there is a definite sense of the disturbingly voyeuristic. There can't help but be, with Steel 'succeeding' in filming 23 of the 24 bridge jumps that happened that year. They are shown plunging to their deaths, from a distance. The sensation in watching is much like repeating the horrifying shots of people hurling themselves from the twin towers that the network news channels quickly stopped showing in the aftermath of 9/11.

But I don't think it is a needlessly hysterical or frenzied media driven film. It is, in my humble opinion, extremely sensitive. It just seeks to explore what drove people to the point that they throw themselves off the bridge. It seems that the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most 'popular' jump spots, and people have this strange period before they jump when the Bridge seems to obsess them and draw them. He films people walking along the edge, contemplating the drop, sizing up the railings etc.

The bulk of the film is made up of talking head interviews with families and friends of the jumpers. These seek to explore the extent to which it was widely known the person was suicidal, was there anything that could be done to stop it, and what the repercussions were. And this presents a dark but fascinating insight into a subject that is even more than mental health in general taboo. Suicide cuts across so many religious, moral, familial and personal moral boundaries that such a film can't help but be immensely provocative.Read more ›
