Reviews:

"With this tape CPR was able to target a high-risk age group and at the same time make it entertaining, contemporary and packed full of valuable information. I would strongly recommend it." 
Captain Ed Mayer, Jackson County Sheriff's Department

This program is part of a series that takes an in-depth look at the epidemic of drug-related problems in America. The victims of the drug culture are often young people, whose judgment has not yet been adequately developed to make healthful choices for themselves. This program investigates the phenomenon of underage drinking, which results in more teenage deaths than any other cause. Driving under the influence, alcohol poisoning, unwanted pregnancies, and property crime are some of the unpleasant consequences discussed in the film. Young people, including super model Nina Smidt, talk frankly about the drug scene. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
