About the project
The film documents a rescue drill. A bus accident with fatalities was simulated. More than 350 people and many emergency organisations took part. They included the ambulance service, fire brigades, police, mountain rescue, civil protection and the provincial emergency call centre.
Our focus
We wanted to tell a complete story. That includes the events before the accident. We were under great pressure. We were not allowed to disturb the rescuers, because they worked as in a real emergency.
