BRIDGE (NR, 125 min), is the life-affirming story of the chance meeting of two suicidal strangers on a bridge over the Ganges, both experiencing immense emotional distress. Their meeting initially brings great challenges but eventually, 'healing' and wholeness to both lives.
Dr. Amit Biswas, a UK-based neuro-psychiatrist who specializes in mental health issues in South Asia, has been working to raise awareness about mental health related diseases globally. Amit is also a filmmaker, and has recently made BRIDGE, an award-winning film that deals with these issues. Dr. Biswas hopes to foster dialogue for mental health research and awareness, compassionate healthcare, leadership, and the importance of intelligent kindness in dealing with such issues.
