Editorial Reviews

This classic 2 DVD set contains a variety of anti-drug films that were made to show America's youth the dangers of using drugs. The films portray how a person slowly destroys his life by starting with recreational drugs and then moving on to harder drugs like heroin. You will also see the personal destruction and social consequences of people who do drugs. In some ways the films are quite explicit in their showing of drug preparation and use. In other ways, they are quite simplistic in their teachings - reflecting the simpler times and more clear cut moral values of the time. Here are all the films that make up this historical collection: Contents of DVD 1: Subject: Narcotics (1951) - Sound, Color Run time: 21:01; Drug Abuse: The Chemical Tomb (1969) - Sound, Color Run time: 18:28; Drug Addiction (1951) - Sound, Black & White Run time: 21:02; The Terrible Truth (1951) - Sound, Color Run time: 10:03; Narcotics: Pit of Despair (1967) - Sound, Color Run time: 28:35; Social Seminar: Changing (1971) - Sound, Color Run time: 27:49; Social Seminar: Bunny (1971) - Sound, Color Run time: 16:00; Contents of DVD 2: Reefer Madness (1938) - sound, Black & White Run time: 1:08:17
