WATCH: ‘Stop Killing our Children’ short documentary shows Dutch struggled for safer streets

‘Stop Killing our Children’ — a recently released 40-minute documentary film narrated by the BBC’s John Simpson — shows the similarities between the Dutch struggled for safer streets in the 1970s to modern day road deaths in the UK.

The film was made with over £10,000 crowdfunded by the Environmental Transport Association, a UK-based breakdown and insurance company set up by an environmentalist in 1990 as an alternative to the AA.

...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

Environmental Transport Association said on its website: “Stop Killing our Children examines how road danger damages us all, whatever our age and however we travel, and questions our collective blindness to both its cause and remedy.”

It added: “The 40-minute, crowdfunded film is narrated by the BBC’s John Simpson and features interviews with Chris Boardman, Dr Rachel Aldred, Dr Ian Walker, George Monbiot and the founders of the Stop de Kindermoord movement amongst others. Please watch and share our film. Please help turn the tide against road danger.”
