I've seen much of the film and I am very conflicted over it. I understand that most of or all of the families who lost someone have seen the film and are glad they did. I know there was some controversy surrounding the filming as the producer didn't tell the city what he was actually doing there.

It was eerie and heart wrenching to watch just how quickly so many of them jumped - as if it was this compelling task to complete - not what I expected. But there was also something calming and surreal if you will about it all.

I had a friend who took his life at the bridge about 15 years ago and it makes me really wonder what it was like for him.

I've' alwayse wondered about[possible intervention efforts. Maybe there could have been "bridge walkers" since this is such a popular place for suicide or a higher railing. Then again, they would likely just choose another way to end their life.

Sounds like a very interesting, but harrowing movie. I think I'd like to see it.
...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
