This week on a very serious episode of The League Cast, Jstebz, Stevil, Rob, and Michael are focused on a dangerous habit that touches all of us, distracted driving.

In 2013, Werner Herzog was asked to create a Texting and Driving PSA as part of the 'It Can Wait' campaign spearheaded by AT&T, Sprint and Verizon Wireless. The 30 minute documentary, From One Second to the Next, centres around four stories told by the families and drivers involved in the incedents. This documentary hit close to home for all of us, as Herzog used emotion rather than graphic imagery to hit the point home. 

Herzog told NPR "It's a deep raw emotion — the kind of deep wounds that are in those who were victims of accidents and also in those who were the perpetrators. Their life has changed and they are suffering forever. They have this sense of guilt that pervades every single action, every single day, every single dream and nightmare.” 

Ultimately, it is up to us to keep each other safe by being attentive as we maneuver through our day-to-day lives. The four of us pledge to do our duty and put our phones down to ensure that we are giving the world around us the attention it deserves, and we urge you to do the same. 

You can find From One Second to the Next on Netflix and Youtube.
