See this film - The Bridge
Artfully made documentary about San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge as an alluring place for many seeking to end their lives. The film focuses on some of the 24 people who committed suicide in 2004 by jumping from the bridge. There is also a first person account by a young man who managed to survive his attempt. Recommended if you are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of depression, mental illness and suicide. This film is also a solid example of top-notch documentary film-making. Both the music and photography are outstanding.
How I see the Golden Gate Bridge has been forever changed.

See this film - I am Trying to Break Your Heart
With this film, I urge you to see it with this caveat: you must really like Wilco and love their most excellent Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album. Otherwise, this is probably not a story you'd find compelling.
