Too Young to Die

A film and music initiative for road safety, created with the blessing of the European Broadcasting Union.Inspired by the true story of Lulu Stauroula, a young girl from Cyprus with a dream of singing at Eurovision, "Too Young To Die" is a narrative music video and song that serves as a powerful plea for empathy on our roads.
