WORTH CONSUMING!

As I watched this documentary about suicide from the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco (USA), humanity dawned on me. Every person in this documentary was for real. I mean, humanity through suicide is a fact, rather than treating it like it’s never supposed to happen: I believe that suicide is one’s own decision, having drained all other options. Somewhat paradoxically, I’m also for preventing suicide, within certain boundaries. This film shows interviews with the survivors, i.e. families and friends of people who have jumped off the bridge. One person who actually survived his jump tells what he experienced. This documentary doesn’t analyse much, but lets people tell their own. The film pulsates gently through these motions, through letting me cry my eyes out and think about life and death in solemnity. The documentary is influenced by the article Jumpers, by Tad Friend.
