Description
Watching children play on a playground, it's almost impossible to
imagine that they may one day be killed by a drunk driver. It's just as
impossible to imagine you're the driver. But every 30 minutes it happens to someone.
Russell Turner knows firsthand. His 19-year-old son,
Jeremy, was killed instantly in a car accident involving a driver under the
influence of drugs and alcohol.
Russell Turner shares his tragedy in DUI: Dead in 5 Seconds as a
poignant reminder that driving under the influence is a choice. It's a
choice that has possible life-long consequences. Steven Leslie knows
first-hand. He's spending 17 years to life in prison for Jeremy's death.

Summary: "Teens and Alcohol"
This product is excellent!! It features real life stories of teens who have made some very bad choices. It is appropriate for teaching and teen counseling sessions. I showed it to a counseling group of teens and a couple of kids had tears toward the end.

Summary: "Inspiring to do the right thing"
I work for adult probation and I am a licensed chemical dependency counselor...this is one video that works in this environment, because they immediatley relate, and it scares them...even for a while, it might be long enough for them to "stop and think"...I cannot say enough of this film. It has a way of grabbing you from the very start and does not let you go...Kudos to MADD for putting this film out there for us to use as a tool.

Summary: "Good, in spite of the Christian evangelism!"
This is a highly recommended DVD to show in a DUI program. While it does include a bit of mild Christian prosletizing, it does encompass the essential element of a DUI being a choice that CAN and DOES result in someone getting KILLED! The coverage of the impact of DUI on a family is excellently presented, and the ending scene of the DUI perpetrator asking for forgiveness is VERY powerful!

Summary: "Alcoholism 101 Required Viewing"
This DVD should be required viewing by all kids 7th grade up. Young people, me too, are just not aware of the awful consequences of drinking. It can rip the life out of you in mere moments.
Without sounding like I'm shaking a finger at anyone, the most important thing we can do with our young people now, is not argue about the drinking age, or any number of other so-called precautions we need to take, but rather put emphasis on early education and the ramifications of over drinking.
Get this DVD and have your child invite all his/her friends over for an important, life changing, education that may save their life some day.
