The Campaign

The film follows a tragic crash scene and the sequence of events that follow. Throughout each scene, Kool and The Gang’s iconic ‘Celebrate’ song is reluctantly sung by the emergency services whilst they perform their duties. We see the victim being cut out of the overturned car, the desperate revival efforts of the paramedic and ambulance team, and the horrific moment when the widowed mother is told the news by police officers. The message is clear: there is no place for celebration until there are no deaths due to drink driving.
