The Bridge

A controversial, depressing documentary about people that commit suicide by jumping off of the Golden Gate Bridge. It definitely raises the obvious questions about suicide and mental health, but I think it also raises ethical questions about these filmmakers. One could argue that this documentary is exploitative of these peoples' problems and despair, or that it just simply documents what was happening. Either way, its interesting yet depressing.

I can't seem to embed this video, but the link to watch the entire thing is here. It is about an hour and a half long.

For those of you that don't want to sit through it but are still interested, here is a two and half minute trailer on youtube. Youtube wont let me embed the trailer either, so you will just have to watch it there.
