Werner Herzog: Text and Drive and Then This

This short documentary—”From One Second To The Next”—is unwatchable required watching for anyone who 1.) Texts while driving 2.) Likes anything Herzog touches (even up to and including for this reason “Jack Reacher”) 3.) Is amazed by humans’ will to survive 4.) Is impressed by the tragic fragility of life 5.) Understands how we will destroy ourselves at the intersection of desire and technology 6.) All of the above.

Herzog says about his motivation to make this for AT&T:

“There’s a completely new culture out there. I’m not a participant of texting and driving — or texting at all — but I see there’s something going on in civilization which is coming with great vehemence at us.”
