Urban mobility and car culture in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
40' video documentary by Branca Nunes and Thiago Benicchio.
English subtitles, 2005
Synopsis:
11 million people, almost 6 million automobiles; one "accident" every 3 minutes; one death every 6 hours; 8 fatal victims of the pollution per day.
Instead of squares, shopping malls; instead of sidewalks, large avenues; instead of parks, parking lots; instead of voices, engines and horns. Dark and closed glasses prevent the human contact.
Drive to work, work to drive. Buy a car and get rid of bad public transportation.
