Background

In 1937, at the request of "Greater Road Safety" in Denmark, and a number of police officers, an official committee was set up: Justitsministeriets Udvalg for Færselspropaganda (the Ministry of Justice's Committee for Road Propaganda in english) to support and advise "Greater Road Safety". They went on to produce the historical Danish film Som det sker, however, the work was still financed by private funds, and the company did not last long.
