きれい事、言うだけなら誰でも出来るけど、これだけ長期間、命の番人として頑張ってきた茂さんを心より敬服致します！どうぞ体に気を付けて下さい！東尋坊のシンドラーとして尊敬致します！

[@mushroomjesus2068]

This is what a real hero looks like.

[@Danielblco0]

Beautiful film. What a lovely man. Seeing that the place turned into a touristic spot is fucked up.

[@michaelwoskey7791]

This was truly touching. Yukio Shige is admirable and selfless. Beautiful.

[@Muhd_Akmal]

what a hero. but hearing the stories of the people he couldn't save is saddening

[@savedfaves]

Muhammad Akmal Surely, but how about those he did save? Hero?

[@danielkcash]

Amazing. Can't believe this has so few views. Criminally underrated.

[@nightcaptain7989]

Very thought provoking documentary. While what happened to the old couple in the beginning was sad, it makes me wonder how Yukio Shige would've lived if he didn't meet them. What he's doing is wonderful and helpful.

[@ryanlynch290]

This man is an angel on earth. I was living as an exchange student in Japan in 1999-2000 when my year was cut short by my sister's suicide stateside. To say it changed the course of my life is an incredible understatement. I'm developing a suicide prevention app, and want to roll it out this year if possible. I'll seek out Mr. Shige and ask for his input and blessing. Thank you, Yukio-san for all you've done for your fellow man!

[@1234hasbeen]

This is beautiful. Thank you.

[@importadosbuongiornobogota6578]

Touching. God bless this man.

[@JamesZazanisTherapis]

Thank you for making this film.

[@sayuhansi7656]

I can’t believe there are people like Yukio shige lives in Japan.so much respect from the bottom of my heart 💓

[@machiko6621]

このような方が増えるといいのですが........

[@edmcboy7308]

I just clicked on the link and it hasn’t started playing but I am already crying. I’ve been in a state where I thought I would be better off dead. True hero’s…… they just do what they feel needs to be done Life always seems to have a purpose bigger than us ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@markd.365]

You are right. There is a purpose for every person’s life. Your life matters. Do not lose hope. And don’t be afraid to reach out for help if the negative thoughts return. There are countless people who want nothing more than to help people trying to decide if life is worth living.

[@khangram]

Great film, It is still great to watch in 2022.

[@MrFasthack]

This was amazing to watch and it is really something that will stick with me for a long time. THANK YOU for making this!

[@MrPolyalert]

Incredible. I have great respect for this Yukio Shige. Beautiful video, thank you for making this

[@MrTurkgod]

George Mack is a G. Thank you

[@chamamemestre]

Amazing documentary. Beautiful soul of a man. In the opposite side are the disgusting people trying to profit from a suicide spot. I was so mad watching the tourists and the people on the boat...

[@Piermusic]

What a story, what a life. I hope he’s doing well today.

[@bobbyjefferson7929]

Remarkable camera work, especially at 37:50

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Looked like a Rothko.

[@hugo.halper]

Very good! A truly remarkable and gentle person ❤

[@familywoman_1212]

[@angelzancada7430]

Gracias 🙏

[@dearlittlefoxxx]

[@__-of3bt]

Excellent short film

[@heyyyyyynow]

"The faults I find in others are a reflection of my own" With that attitude I can see why people are taking the plunge.

[@panthekirb7561]

Some people just can't be saved.

[@daimyokupopoo9500]

Heroes of our time.

[@Merserissugoi]

good documentary

[@SeafloorFilms]

Amazing

[@jamescc2010]

It is a tough job but one has to do it with heart and hope for the best. Great man saves people's lives. Killing is sin. So we must be very strong , looking at a bigger & brighter picture of life and working hard to pass this dark storm.

[@mugiyuzu8399]

beautiful film. Shige works as a volunteer by own expense and contribution.

[@redeyedanime2512]

This is beautiful, and one more thing.... The Reddit Army has arrived.

[@jason44901]

It was beautiful until you made it cringy...

[@redeyedanime2512]

Hisoka I guess that is true

[@Wokegooglers]

Very true.

[@micaelaesperguin2247]

the story of the parents that killed themself with their childrens... god.

[@withlovenicole533]

❤😢❤

[@Paddyllfixit]

OMG! There are easier ways of leaving this mortal coil. And of those who survive the attempt....? Are there tour-guides leading tourists into Aokigahara forest?

[@justinw4901]

Who the hell disliked this?

[@vence32]

sorry i thought it meant dis i like

[@TunedSongs]

Does anyone know how to get the effect at 9:29 and again 10:10? Same as Colbert show I think. Is it by unmounting the lens completely and holding it close to the sensor?

[@savedfaves]

TunedSongs Probably done in post. Some vignetting and blurring. Now watch the film and be moved.

[@Pfsif]

The guy at 6:30 appears to be Codependent and his mother and Narcissist.

[@savedfaves]

And yet your analysis helps no one.

[@TaigiTWeseDiplomat--Formosan]

:000

[@Sealyy_]

damn dude

[@HardWithStyle97]

He's a hero for sure, but people have reasons to commit suicide sometimes and by jumping off of a bridge they do no harm to anyone but themselves.

[@savedfaves]

I disagree they don’t only harm themselves. As the woman said, they leave behind a world of hurt. It’s generational. Bit by bit we can stop the shame, and in the words of Fred Rogers, see that feelings are “mentionable and manageable”.

[@A_Simple_Neurose]

They leave behind untold pain. Lets see you make the same statement after your loved one jumps off some cliff.

[@anthonyagureyev307]

​@@A_Simple_Neurosewhat if you don't have loved ones.

[@LIANGE1011]

Wait is this a documentary or a film lol

[@sarracene]

documentary; they have interviews..

[@savedfaves]

John Smith it’s a documentary short film John. No actors.

[@恋するチャッキー]

本当の絶望を知ってから、本物の死を考えてる人間と話しをしな。言われて死なない奴は誰かに止めて欲しい人間だから死なないんだよ。本気の死を考えてる人間は止められない。救いは死だから。
