This powerful documentary explores the drug problems in seemingly perfect Orange County, California, which mirrors some of the drug issues faced today in North Texas. The film is 90 minutes in length.

"We are thrilled that filmmaker Brent Huff will be at the screening to do a Q&A," said Rebecca Baker, founder & president of The Jim Utley Foundation. Baker's brother Jim Utley passed away in 2006 as a result of using methamphetamine. "This film should be seen by every adult, especially parents. It is eye-opening and in some cases, life changing." The documentary is being shown as part of foundation's Red Ribbon Week activities.

The Jim Utley Foundation was formed in 2008. Its mission is to connect with parents, teens and preteens with real-world information and rewards ages 10-17 years for choosing to be drug free. The foundation's Test Yourself program awards points to youth for submitted activities such as getting good grades, doing community or church service, being active in organized sports and clubs, and pledging to be drug free. Points can then be exchanged for gift cards to retail stores and restaurants. The Jim Utley Foundation also offers free at home drug-testing kits free of charge to parents by request.
