Amit Mitra's documentary, which begins with additional commissioner of police (traffic and security) Praveen Sood stating that at least 700 to 900 accidents are reported in a year, moves on to show how an accident caused the death of 19-year-old Sunil.
The film depicts that most of the accidents are drunken-driving cases. At least 76% of vehicles on the road are two-wheelers. "On-road Behaviour leads to more accidents than bad infrastructure. Areas with good infrastructure and roads like Devanahalli are the most dangerous zones," Sood said. At least 70,000 to 80,000 people are sent to court for drunken driving," he pointed out.
Daily reports of accidents in the city prompted Amit, an IT professional, to make the documentary. "I came to Bangalore in 2004. There has been a sea-change in the city, and the biggest has beenb the increase in the number of vehicles. It was very difficult for me to drive on the road. Every morning I would wake up to read news on accidents. It has become part of our lives. This prompted me to direct this documentary," Amit said.
"We will screen the film in schools and colleges," Sood said.
Sood was touched by the documentary, especially the accident trauma scenes followed by the city's robust medical infrastructure facilities - difference between the lives lost and saved.
