Film (short)
by Alan Powell (Drama)
Producer, Editor Docudrama: Rather than tell high school students what to do this video holds a mirror up to the current attitudes of secondary students towards dating violence in their schools while at the same time a true story of one female student victim unfolds in dramatizations. It's not a 'what to do' but rather a 'who we are' video for students. It reveals how uninformed they are about the facts of the issue as well as demonstrating the catastrophic results of their inactivity due to peer pressure. Written by HATS
