This message from AT&T is intended for teenage viewers. It's message is to show you the story of many lives that were changed because of the death of two and the life-changing injuries of a third. It gets this message across mainly emotionally using very little statistics nor really appealing to ethics. The emotional parts of the video mainly consist of the music used throughout, that being a quiet and sad melody, and the stories of the lives that were changed forever from seeing these accidents.
