Set in a toy tabletop town, this film uses brightly colored model cars and trucks to demonstrate a range of driving safety scenarios. The number of near-misses and accidents would make for an extremely violent film if real vehicles and people were used, but the models keep the feeling of mayhem at a distance. An unusual example of a rich tradition within the safety film genre: the tabletop model.

A Very Special DVD

April 19, 2009
8:00 pmto10:00 pm

While devoting an entire DVD to films about the developmentally-disabled (mentally handicapped, retarded) might seem like an odd (maybe even inappropriate) theme, but these films provide insight into our culture’s view of the handicapped and the real-life problems that care providers must address. You can tell a lot
about a society by how it treats its handicapped- World of the Right Size, Teaching the Mentally Retarded, I’m Ready Mom, Are You?, Board and Care, Selling One Guy Named Larry.
