Review
Had heard so much about this film or films for the DMV like this one.. Though it's an old film it still does justice to the message. Not that I'd say they should still run it, but still worth seeing to understand what it was they were trying to say with it. Unfortunately with it's graphic violent images of death by negligence, it still didn't stop many since it's first showing [many years ago].
