The Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the world’s most well-known suicide locations. Originally constructed to connect Marin County with San Francisco, it has become a tragic point of departure for people determined to end their lives.

Filmed over the course of a year, The Bridge not only reveals the breathtaking scenery and spectacular beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge, but also captures a number of suicides. It features interviews with the friends and family of some of those who leapt from the bridge, revealing harrowing personal stories that include struggles with depression, mental illness and substance abuse.
