Program Summary |
Profiles several individuals
whose lives have been forever altered by an alcohol-related automobile
accident. This intensely moving documentary also profiles two convicted
drunk drivers "the offenders" who attempt to convey the almost
indescribable guilt and remorse for their poor judgment and the consequences
they face. The highly emotional stories of those interviewed are distinct,
but the message contained in each is exactly the same: drunk driving can
be prevented, and no one should have to suffer for someone else's bad
decision. |
