Student Film Addresses Drunk Driving

Mt. Lebenon Highschool students make a realistic, professional movie titled "Every 15 Minutes." It is based on the premise that in the US, every 15 minutes someone is killed by a drunk driver.

The movie making was a "huge community project" which included the help of a doctor, nurse, firefighters, police, teachers, etc...

In the interview linked below, one of the adult teacher/actresses is asked what she hopes the movie accomplishes. She states:

"I hope that they won't get in the car with someone who is drinking. Or that they themselves won't get behind the wheel."
