Must see documentaries..

[haydockboy]

The Bridge - Two guys spend a whole year either bank of the Golden Gate Bridge and film all the jumpers. They then go and find the relatives and interview about 7-8 of them to find out why the people did it. Some are pissed off some upset etc. Its fascinating however the best part is an interview with the only jumper to survive that year, his story is mind boggling.

This sounds totally fucked up but I will watch this out of curiosity.

I myself love documentaries and will watch anything from Horizon to Inside Natures Giants. I cant stand soaps and I have not sat through a film for about 2yrs.

just watched this, the woman (whose identity was hidden) she may as well pushed him!

great doco this I watched it last night. Really harrowing stuff and interesting to get an insight into the instant regret some feel once they have jumped and realise they don't want to die. The lad who survived had a remarkable story.

As sad as it all was. I couldn't help but think Gene's fall at the end was actually quite graceful

You need to take their advice ... excellent film.

Watched Searching for Sugar Man last night. Really enjoyed it, and even downloaded the guy's music afterward.

Spoiler

It's unbelievable that you could be famous without even knowing it, yet both him and his family remained so humble.

You should listen to this podcast on suicide regarding how quick the decision to actually do it can be.
