Shane Gang Pictures presents the film “21 Miles in Malibu” at Malibu Bluffs Park on Friday, May 19. 

‘21 Miles’ explores why so many people are killed on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. Emily Shane was one of the youngest victims: a 13 year old girl whose life was taken by a maniacal driver on the deadly road. Her father, Michel Shane, made this documentary film in her honor to raise awareness, create change, and spark action.

“If even one driver slows down or one life is saved, this film has accomplished its purpose,” Producer and father of Emily Shane, Michel Shane said in a press release. “You should not have to take your life in your hands to drive down a road. Life is precious, everything else can be replaced.”

Join him for a free screening on Friday May 19 at 7:00pm at Bluffs Park in Malibu, with a Q&A starting at 7:30pm.

The film is a hybrid of personal stories of loss, the history of a loved place, and a cautionary tale of government indifference and citizen activism. The film and PCH safety discussion begin at 7:30 p.m. This film is not intended for people younger than 16. Visit MalibuCity.org/21Miles for more information.
