IMPACT
$89 ~ Grades 9-12 ~ 16 min ~ Leader's Guide
Five serious car accidents in a single school year stunned a small Vermont community. In response, the students at the local high school created IMPACT-a 16-minute video which goes beyond statistics and scare tactics to tap into the emotional agony related to driving fatalities. The footage was shot by students using the actual people who were involved in the accidents. Those onscreen look directly into the camera and talk to the crash victims as if they were still alive. The video is so effective because as the viewer, you feel the dead driver is you.
