Liam Neeson narrates this new documentary Resting Places which explores the controversy of roadside memorials. This film is making its way through film festivals and is looking for world wide distribution.
I look forward to seeing this film. While I understand that this "phenomenon" of roadside memorials is spreading around the world, it seems to me that it is taken out of historical context: memorials to the dead are as old as history. Personally I find them a bit creepy and that they litter the landscape. Even though I am not a churchgoer I am not offended by any religious message at all; in fact, I never considered that aspect.
