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.
In this sequence at the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre, a nurse details the devastating physical and emotional effects of an accident on 18-year-old ‘Julie’.
