USA/UK
Feature Documentary
Director: Eric Steel
Cinematographers: Peter Baldwin, Peter McCandless
Composer: Alex Heffes
Despite the film-makers’ slightly dubious ethics (the film’s structure is particularly troubling), the resulting documentary, an unflinching look at suicide, featuring actual footage of people jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge as well as interviews with family and friends, is an undeniably invaluable, strangely beautiful, and deeply sad work, and one that highlights the insignificance of the individual, as it dispassionately shows images of people who have reached their lowest ebb, contemplating the end of their lives, whilst all around them life whirs gently on.
