Awareness campaigns have often focused on the sudden end of life a car accident can bring, but in its new campaign for Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT), Ogilvy Madrid's focus is the hell you can be left with.

Opening on a distracted man taking his attention from the road, To Die or to Lose Your Life suddenly takes a visually poetic turn, demonstrating the myriad awful aftershocks the moment of carelessness has caused.

Shot by Pablo Maestres through Roma, the powerful film uses all of the tricks in the book masterfully, combining POV, slow-mo, and strategic mise-en-scene to create a heightened reality that is hard to ignore.
