With The Announcement, we dealt with the moment the announcement of a death due to a car related accident is done to the relatives of the victim.The concept is to highlight the moment when a police officer has to do this tough thing : Announce to someone that its close relative has just died in a car accident.

The purpose is to help people to talk about those tragedies, and make viewers realize that they never want to inflict to their loved ones.

These sensitive and painful moments are told by 4 police officers that are being interviewed about this difficult task that is part of their everyday job, narrating both their own feelings and fears before the announcement and the reaction of the families.
