THE BRIDGE


Well as one half of the HAIR is in the Bay for the weekend I just got done watching 20/20 and they had a spot about the GoldenGate Bridge and a documentry film about all the suicides there are at the bridge.More than 1200 since it was opened,24 in the year of 2004 that's 2 a month,well a man named Eric Steel set up multiple camera's and every day for one year filmed the bridge.He captured 23 of the 24 suicides made several rescuses by way of calling emergency teams when something was going bad and the still photo's in the trailer were shot by a man who saw a girl go over the railing to jump and he actually pulls her back to saftey it's all pretty intense and will be coming out in limited runs very soon.There's quite alot of controvery about the film as you can imagine and interviews with the family members which he neglected to tell that he had video footage of their loved ones suicides.And the city of San Francisco is feeling alot of pressure as well to build a saftey gaurd to prevent people from jumping which they say will take away from the bridges apperance and visitation will suffer a.k.a. loss of MONEY, which we all know in this world is always more important.
