WARNING: This clip contains nudity
In December 1975, ATV-0 Melbourne broadcast a graphic documentary designed to confront complacent audiences in the lead-up to Christmas. You Just Don’t Realise… was a searing 55-minute examination on the effects of the mounting road toll.
The documentary doesn’t spare the culpable drivers. In this clip, 30-year-old ‘Graham’ reflects from prison on the life-changing impact of driving while drunk.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
