Driving is Dangerous. We need more of these movies to remind us of the simple things that can distract us. "Eyes on the Road at All Times" should be a bumper sticker 😞
Seat belts are a MUST , they save Lives BIG TIME

Just wow. What a great storytelling, so immersive and what breath taking beautiful cinematography.

[@eugenetswong]

Yeah, it was painful to watch their suffering. I kept wondering what was going on.

[@barbarapearce9738]

Brilliant! I just want to know what happens next.

So the moral of the story is keep your eyes on the road, and if after an accident, do you see a little bird fly away, it represents loss. Not much else to this.

I work in Emergency Departments & with First Responders. There's a reason why we call the front passenger seat - the Death Seat...
* ALWAYS: wear a seat belt.
* NEVER get in a vehicle with an alcohol or drug affected driver.
* Or with someone who thinks it's 'cool' to speed.
* Or 'Drift'.
* DO NOT get in / stay in a car where the driver is Texting &
* DO NOT DISTRACT the driver with your stuff on your phone - or any type of distraction.
Lethal accidents occur in micro-seconds - and sometimes it's far worse to survive... { Life-long brain injuries, spinal injuries, burns, pain, amputations, colostomy bags. Life-long dependency in care etc. etc. }
# And spare a thought for the First Responders. Last week I spoke to an emergency services worker who's job it was to retrieve the severed head of a teenager from the roadside who had been texting while driving.
These things are REAL - not a movie, and happening daily.
This short film should be played in every High School & College.
