I wasn't sure whether to put this in entertainment or extended discussion... I think it mostly suits the latter.

This is the trailer to a film called 'The Bridge'. Some sensitive people may find it disturbing.

To elaborate, this is a movie made up of footage of people committing suicide off the Golden Gate Bridge. The film crew set up cameras to watch the bridge for an entire year, and captured 24 jumpers on film, all died. The crew had previously agreed to try and prevent any jumpers they saw, and had bridge officials on speed dial on their phones. However, all the suicides took place with too little warning.

The film is also made up of interviews with the bereaved families.

The purpose of the film, according to the director Eric Steel, is to dissuade people with suicidal thoughts.

I personally think it looks like a very moving film. However, the controversy is that suicide should not be 'glorified' on film, that these people should not be filmed in such an intrusive way, and that it is basically wrong to film suicide.

What's your take on it?

P.S. I apologize if a similar thread has already been made; I'm not sure when this movie came out.
