Way to go is trippy.
This is an intereactive experience for all ages. Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, co-produced by France Televisions, with a soundtrack by Philippe Lambert, Way To Go is "a game and a solace and an alarm, a wake-up call to the hazards of today", we have access to so much and end up seeing so little.
