Shot on film and edited by Warren Lynch, then of Intergalactic Films, the Bridge of Love Project documentary film was provided to Prime Television and released on video through Larrikin Music. The music video component was released to country music TV shows and channels, achieving a Golden Guitar award nomination for 'Video of the Year' in 1995. Parts of the clip were used in a national community television campaign for Barnardos Australia.

Interviews with artists involved in the making of 'Bridge of Love' and representatives from Barnardos Australia were conducted by the music industry journalists Dr Susan Jarvis and Jon Wolfe. Displayed below is a low-res VHS-dub while the video is being remastered.
