[suas] Film Night: The Bridge

27 November, 2007

SUAS Film Night is proud to take a risk this week, and show a controversial documentary that observes – at heart stopping proximity – the draw of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge as a destination for those seeking to end their lives. Be aware that this film contains scenes that you may find disturbing.
