Beautifully shot but sad film reminds MTR construction workers to stay alert on the job

This seven-minute film, apparently directed by James Lawes for the MTR Corporation, follows a day in the life of an employee who works at a construction site for the company.

Watch the video on Vimeo (embedding is not allowed).

The construction worker gets into an accident while at work, leaving behind a pregnant wife and a young son.

It’s a sad video that might lead to the shedding of a tear or two, but the video is beautifully shot.

It’s also a good reminder that we could all take personal safety a little more seriously in a city of jaywalkers and crazed minibus drivers.  

The film ends with the slogan “Your family needs you” in four different languages.
