NEW UPDATE:
February 2008: The Northern Lights Documentary will be presented in Washington, DC at the Coalition of Anti-Drug Communities National Conference (CADCA).

The Northern Lights documentary is available for showing on your own cable access channel: Just in time for November 30th, National Methamphetamine Awareness Day. This movie shows how a community joined forces with the creative arts to produce and star in their own pro-active educational movie, music video and documentary: all about methamphetamine. Research consultants came from local, regional and state levels; professional actors joined the community project to really “Shine the Light” on the production.

This complimentary copy of the documentary is included with the full production template for easy replication by any community. Fire up the creative juices in your own town, community or neighborhood to create your own version. We supply all the steps you need! Just add local talent.

TESTIMONIALS
"I was very impressed with the message that was being given that everyone needs to be involved to stop the spread of methamphetamine.  The production does a very nice job getting involvement from many sectors of a community and I can see where communities of any size could benefit from putting this on.”

"It engages youth not only in the material, but captures their attention through the ubiquitous power of video. The students become stars of their own education. By seeing themselves "doing it right" over and over when they teach others, the video's power is harnessed to promote positive behavior."

"I learned that I will always view it with the kids as it sparked a good conversation afterward."
