Documentary about people committing suicide off the Golden Gate Bridge. Shows several people jumping to their deaths. The movie consists entirely of this footage and of interviews with family members and friends of jumpers, eyewitnesses, and even one survivor. It's more about individual stories than an overview on the reasons people kill themselves. I found it very interesting and not as morbid or depressing as I expected it to be. Although watchinng those people jump and hit the water did give me a chill every time.

Not sure but it looks like there was someone actually behind the camera because they would follow the people walking along the path and also from when they jumped on their way down to hitting the water. That'd be kind of fucked up though to just watch someone kill themself without making an attempt to intervene.

This was a good flick... here"s my netflix review if you're interested... I gave it 4 out of 5 stars...
This is a well constructed documentary that is so much more than a look at The Golden Gate Bridge and those who choose to end their lives by jumping off into the bay… it is also a glimpse at the different ways in which those who have lost someone to suicide deal with and justify the tragedy of their reality. It is beautifully shot and absolutely gripping from beginning to end. A sensitive, yet not over dramatic study of a bridge, a gorgeous bay and the desperate souls who disappear into it… I recommend this as a though-provoking experience.
