Power Trip Film Screening

Join us for an afternoon with Myron Levin, the filmmaker behind Power Trip. This event is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is required. Light refreshments will be provided.
Power Trip, executive produced by novelist Michael Connelly and narrated by the incomparable Peter Coyote, examines the media culture around high-risk driving, including movies, video games and car commercials that glamorize speed and aggression behind the wheel. Bucking the trend of declining fatalities in other wealthy countries, U.S. crash deaths have spiked to more than 40,000 per year, along with tens of thousands of catastrophic injuries. Speed is a factor in nearly 30 percent of these crashes. Yet, as Power Trip shows through images and interviews with safety experts, advocates and grieving survivors, popular media--including many car commercials--continue to celebrate the kind of high-risk driving that kills people and tears families apart. Power Trip sends a strong message about the preventable slaughter on our roads and automakers' responsibility to model the safe use of their cars and trucks. The film is dedicated to the memory of crash victims everywhere, to their grieving families, and to those working to end the slaughter on our roads.
