Power Trip

This documentary examines the rise in U.S. traffic deaths and the media culture around dangerous driving. Bucking the trend of declining fatalities in other wealthy countries, U.S. crash deaths spiked to more than 40,000 in recent years. Speed is a major factor, yet popular media - including many car commercials - celebrate the kind of high-risk driving that kills people and tears families apart.
