Films

Movies are listed with local listings first, then Plymouth Public Library's holdings, and finally a JustWatch link, which gathers together the links from all major streaming platforms where the film is currently available. DVDs in our library check out for 1 week; Plymouth Public Library sets its own due dates and circulation policies, so please check with them for due dates. For your convenience, our library has one portable DVD player with built-in screen available for a 3-day checkout. Not all films have DVDs and availability of streaming films may not be guaranteed. Due to low demand for DVDs, we don't have more than one copy for most films, so availability is on a first-come, first served basis.

The Bridge by Eric Steel
Call Number: 616.85 B763 2005

ISBN: 9781417201389

Publication Date: 2005

What makes the suicides at the bridge so unusual is that they take place in broad daylight, in front of people in a busy place - unlike most suicides, which are enacted in extreme privacy. Filmmaker Eric Steel and his crew spent 2004 filming the bridge during daylight hours from two locations, grappling with the ethical question of when to alert authorities, and their responsibilities as observers. The film features interviews with the families and friends of some of the victims that year, as well as one person who changed his mind. Offering a glimpse into one of the darkest, most impenetrable corners of the human mind, the film also interrogates society's ability to blithely ignore the grim realities of depression, mental illness, and drug abuse that underlie so many suicides.
