The Project

“IN-VISIBLE STREETS” is a road safety multimedia project that comprises two large supplementary items: a DOCUMENTARY MOVIE and an information AUDIOVISUAL ARCHIVE.

Additionally, it aims at honouring the millions of people and their families, who have been tragically involved in road incidents.

The Movie

The MOVIE starts challenging the terrible and unacceptable statistics of road incidents, which include deaths and serious injuries, and wondering how this other “pandemic” could be resolved, as every year, more than 1.5 million people are killed, and between 20 to 50 million more people suffer non-fatal injuries around the world.

Every year the lives of more than 1.5 million people are cut short due to a road traffic crash.

And the answer is always the same: “It’s a multi-cause problem”.

Not pleased with this answer, the narrator dives into the multiple causes, and ventures into the search of experiences, examples and standpoints in different cities around the world, to try to achieve a comprehensive idea that will improve this scourge.

Then, this way is how the first-person documentary begins, which is divided into various topic sequences:

Infrastructure

Control / Audit

Traffic Safety Policies

Status and Speeding Marketing

The Human Factor

Testimonies from victims and their families

Each of these sequences is addressed with examples, retold by interviews with experts, real people testimonies in the street, footage, videos recorded at the place being analysed, and life stories from victims and their families.

On the other hand, the ARCHIVE is a supplementing tool that enables anybody to go deeper into all the different aspects that make up this problem, including its technical details, that will be available on a free website for consultation, particularly for experts and decision-makers.
