Good, in spite of the Christian evangelism! by DUI Counselor (CA)  4 Stars
September 26, 2009
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!

Alcoholism 101 Required Viewing by Claude Hoot Hooten aka: Brad Edwards  5 Stars
September 25, 2009
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.

great learning tool.. by James C. Ward (Tuscaloosa area AL, USA) 5 Stars
June 17, 2009
this film is straight to the point. It shows a true case-study of an incident involving DUI and the effects it caused, both for the family of the victim and the offender himself.
very emotional, very effective in sending the "don't drink and drive" message.
** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED **

D.U.I. Dead In Five Seconds by Joanne M. Gallant (Calgary, Alberta Canada) 5 Stars
March 21, 2009
This was a documentary on impaired driving and the consequences of it from the perspective of the perpetrator and the victim's family. It was extremely well done and is invaluable in the work I do with alcoholics.

"The death of a young person is the ultimate obscenity" by L. Jonsson (Charleston, SC United States) 4 Stars
October 14, 2008
In this MTV-like cautionary DVD, the tale of Steve Leslie is told. At the age of 23, he drank and used methamphetamine, chose to drive, led police on a car chase that led to him rear ending the car of Jeremy Turner, a 19 year old. He killed Turner instantly by causing the car to explode. Leslie was given a 17 year minimum sentence for his crimes of murder, felony DUI, felony resisting arrest, and felony evading arrest. Russell Turner, Jeremy's Dad, shares his tragedy by talking to high schools about the dangers of drinking and driving, and interviewing Steve Leslie about his actions in jail. Instead of telling the story in a straightforward way, the DVD shows many images of Jeremy growing up, and of children and teenagers in general at different times in their lives. It intersperses these images with pictures of collisions and people covered in blood that have been in DUI accidents. The editing is crisp, but sometimes confusing as to what tale is really being told. Visually this short film is stunning, but the different images shown make it sometimes difficult to concentrate on the real story of what happened to Jeremy Turner. Also interspersed in the segments on the Turner family and Steve Leslie is the funeral of a young adult named Brooks. We are not introduced to his family in any way other than what we see in the emergency room of his family and of what his FAther says about him in Brooks's funeral. This was confusing, but did add to the emotional impact of the DVD in showing the devastation a DUI can cause to the remaining family members. My only problem with this DVD is I would have liked to have known more about this family above, and I would have liked more information on Jeremy Turner before his death.
The impact of what Steven Leslie did will forever alter the lives of the Turner family. However, this DVD can possibly make someone choose to make a low risk choice; and not drink and drive. This DVD is great to show to groups who have to go to treatment due to having a DUI, because it can show them what might have been. A felony DUI is devastating to the offenders family, as well as the victims family. Steve Leslie has not regularly interacted with his wife or son for years, and that is a direct consequence of his felony DUI conviction.
