"Roads criss cross our landscape, making it convenient for human beings to travel. However, countless creatures also die as a result of these roads. This piece documents South Korea's first in-depth study of 'road kill.' It shows how drivers, who race along these roads, destroy animals' natural habitats and kill them in road accidents. Adopting an environmentalist point-of-view, this film questions the economic logic that girds development."--Container.
