More on Moonshadow…
“We make movies that make a difference and people appreciate the results. Choose Life or Choose Meth is our clearly most important work.” Said Charlie Chapin, the film’s producer. “The video forms the cornerstone of a multi-media campaign that replaces the ignorance in which the Meth epidemic spreads with reasons to stay completely away from the drug. It is the conversation that most parents only wish they could have with their children to prevent the tragedy that addiction to methamphetamine brings. To the extent to which this documentary can prevent that level of human suffering the movie’s done its job. But my personal goal for this movie is also to help policy-makers to see that the war on drugs needs to be replaced by a war on ignorance. In the latter case, there are no losers.”
