Drive
Directors Bronwyn Purvis and Telen Rodwell / 2009 / 55mins
Tasmania, the southern most isolated state of Australia lays claim to the nation's highest rate of road fatality.
Young men are dying in high speed, single vehicle crashes, crumpled in metal coffins, on lonely rural roads.
Drive is a film about identity and the rites of passage young men face on their journey to adulthood - gaining a driver's license and the legal right to drink alcohol.
Tracing the grief lines from the roadside memorials of all those who have been touched by the deaths of five young men over the past two years, from mothers and girlfriends to the police and tow truck drivers who deal with the remains.
The documentary also encounters a motley group of young skaters who joyously express what it is like to be young and alive and about their own risk-taking on their way to manhood.
