We’ve got BIG NEWS to share. We kicked off the production of our newest documentary and can’t wait to REVEAL this powerful new story.
Our aim is to serve hope to those who feel alone.
Meet Kevin Berthia and Kevin Briggs.
They are doing incredible, impactful work in suicide prevention, but their story begins 18 years ago. You might have even seen this iconic photo from the day they first met: March 11, 2005.
On that day, Berthia – who struggled with depression – went to the #GoldenGateBridge to jump. There, he encountered Briggs who worked for the California Highway Patrol. Briggs listened to Berthia share his heart for 92 minutes. It was a conversation that altered both of their lives, and one that was captured in a photo by a nearby photographer.
Briggs is known as the “Guardian of the Golden Gate” due to his efforts that have kept more than 200 people from jumping off the bridge. Berthia ultimately chose to come back over the rail, and today works alongside Briggs as an advocate for suicide prevention.
Their story is hard, yet hopeful and sheds light on the power of human connection. We cannot wait to bring you along during our production journey as we work to share such an important story of resilience.
Given the topic of our film, we’re assembling a special council that can provide insight and expertise on suicide prevention and mental healthy advocacy. Our aim is to serve hope to those who feel alone.
Like all Fotolanthropy films, this documentary will only be made possible through the generous support from donors and sponsors. Please consider helping us bring this powerful story to screens by making a donation.
