The subject itself is heavy and probably making a doc so real by depicting suicides live is not a wise idea for someone who is already in a depressive state. But , as I see it, can work as a suggestion but not as the trigger. Why are people so worried about the bridge, i.e, the means, when they should worry about the cause and solve it. It can be a bridge, a knife, or any other way the person thinks of.

It was a good thing to build the safety net, although there is always someone who can trespass it, but at least it was a good measure as a result of the movie.

And personally I believe that the crew tried to avoid the worst, if they didn’t I wonder how heavy is the burden they carry in their minds.

One thing is sure, after watching it I spent some time thinking about those people and one cannot avoid feeling deeply sad.

BUT One the other hand, people should see it , listen to the testimonies, and pay more attention to the people next to us and their needs in order to avoid the worst.

Watch the movie. It respectfully illuminates a topic that people want to sweep under the rug. His movie led to a safety net being constructed on the bridge.

I hope no warm body ever allows him to make contact ever again.
