    The result is haunting. It focuses on four accidents, some of them fatal, and Herzog aims his camera squarely at the faces of both victims and perpetrators, asking them to describe in detail what happened and the aftermath. Herzog emphasizes the change in civilization he perceives in part by examining an accident in which an Amish family was killed and another in which a horse-shoer's truck was involved.

    Clare Cullen – 09 August 2013
    Werner Herzog's 35 minute documentary backing the 'It Can Wait' campaign has been released in full on YouTube.

    The Grizzly Man director has a new 35-minute film called "From One Second To The Next" which aims to highlight how lives are changed forever by texting while driving.

    "From One Second to the Next," is an expansion on a series of short videos Herzog directed for a public awareness campaign. The documentary tells the stories of both victims and perpetrators, profiling the victims of distracted driving and featuring conversations with the drivers themselves. ...

    An Irish national campaign for the same issue is currently being run by the RSA, who claim that "driver distraction plays a role in 20-30% of all road collisions" and that a mobile phone makes you "four times more likely to crash".

    The great director’s public information film on the dangers of texting while driving is available on YouTube

    Nothing he has done, however, is as unexpected as this 30-minute documentary, made for AT&T, on the dangers of texting while driving. ...
    In fact, it turns out to be a very serious, very touching piece of work. ...
    Werner focusses on those injured with the same intensity he brings to all his documentary subjects.
