New York City cab drivers and other city workers will soon be required to watch a video about pedestrians killed by cars as part of the city's effort to stem traffic fatalities.

The 15-minute film features interviews with family members, some of whom — like the Liao and Rahman families — were profiled by WNYC as part of our Mean Streets series.

Here's the video:
