Program Abstract:
Our film connects with students in a unique way. Our goal is simple; to save lives. “If They Had Known” is a 30 minute documentary that focuses on the risks of current party culture; specifically, the recreational trend of mixing prescription drugs with alcohol. It is an honest and emotional story of an accidental death that shouldn’t have happened. Following the film, we present an outline and tools for leading an effective post-viewing discussion with students.
