schools should show this documentary

this is a heartbreaking documentary about the downfalls of drug abuse. if you ever have a chance to watch it you should. everyone i know that has seen it really feels an attachment to the people the documentary follows. even 16 years later, people still talk about it. i really think they should show it in schools to show the kids the reality of the dangers of drug addiction. there is a part 2 to this documentary also. i can't understand why they are never shown on TV.

to the people who made it...you did a wonderful job.

to the people who star in it...i hope that you are doing well, and

that you find a way to get away from your addictions.

to the children involved...i hope you can take the first hand

experiences you have had with the madness of drugs, and use it to stop

others from the same fate. i know you are all grown up now, and i

hope you are doing well, i wish you every happiness.
