Choice, The

Synopsis

A ‘trigger’ film, part of a drugs education package which aims to create an awareness amongst young people of the influences which can effect their attitude and behaviour towards drugs. It does not give information on specific drugs and their effects but considers ‘peer group’ pressure ' as the main influence and how to develop the social skills necessary to resist those pressures. The overall objective is to discourage any experimentation with drugs.
