The Bridge (2006)

Verenigd Koninkrijk / Verenigde Staten
Documentaire
93 minuten

geregisseerd door Eric Steel

Een documentaire over één van de beroemdste bruggen van de wereld, de Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Leidraad van de documentaire is de onweerstaanbare aantrekkingskracht die de brug blijkt te hebben op mensen die zelfmoord willen plegen. De regisseur en zijn crew filmden heel 2004 de gebeurtenissen op de brug, waarbij ze getuige waren van meer dan twintig zelfmoordgevallen en nog een heel aantal die ze wisten te voorkomen. Tevens wordt gepraat met getuigen en nabestaanden van de gestorven springers.



People suffer largely unnoticed while the rest of the world goes about its business. This is a documentary exploration of the mythic beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge, the most popular suicide destination in the world, and those drawn by its call. Steel and his crew filmed the bridge during daylight hours from two separate locations for all of 2004, recording most of the two dozen deaths in that year (and preventing several others). They also taped interviews with friends, families and witnesses, who recount in sorrowful detail stories of struggles with depression, substance abuse and mental illness. Raises questions about suicide, mental illness and civic responsibility as well as the filmmaker's relationship to his fraught and complicated material.
