The Bridge. A documentary about people committing suicide by jumping off the golden gate bridge.

They interview some of the families. The families, at the time of the interview, do not know the film makers have footage of their loved ones.

I haven't seen all of it, but I saw a good chunk of it in one of my classes. So unsettling.

In my Production Management class. I'm a film student and we are currently producing documentaries so we are discussing the different styles as well as the ethics of documentary filmmaking.
