Upon its release in 2003, Hell’s Highway: The True Story of Highway Safety Films was called “A Lynchian view of the nightmarish underbelly of middle America”. It documented the rise and demise of an Ohio organization that preached driver safety to high schoolers with graphic footage of fatal car accidents. On the occasion of the film’s twentieth anniversary, filmmaker Bret Wood gives a brisk tour of these notorious films, with detours into the company’s genuinely bizarre non-traffic output, and discusses some of the developments that have transpired since his documentary's release.
