The Bridge

Golden Gate
San Francisco


The Golden Gate Bridge is a sight to behold. Immortalized in song and romanticized in films, this icon is much more tragic in reality than its romantic myth as depicted in this sensational documentary The Bridge by filmmaker Eric Steel. Everyday of the year it is painted orange. But as soon as the last square inch of metal is coated, it needed repainting. So next time you pass by Golden Gate, look for telltale signs. You will likely see platforms and ropes, and acrobats in overalls hanging on their harnesses retouching the bridge with a brilliant orange hue….
