What's crazy is the comments by the "Bridge Commitee". Why don't they just admit that they don't want the bridge to viewed as suicide structure rather than say that the filmmaker's work makes them think about "snuff films"... Give me a break. I bet everyone of those commitee members were glued to the TV when those poor ppl trapped on top of the WTC jumped rather than be burned alive. Was anyone thinking snuff film then? I don't think so. It's cool that CBS or BBC or CNN show horrible footage from massacres in Somalia or the Tsunami aftermath in Indonesia, but when a filmmaker decides to document those who take their own lives and his work is descraibed in disgust.
Personally, I've got to see this film. I find the concept very intriguing. Especially since nobody knew the camera was there.
