| Drugs,
Gangs & Honesty
This collection of weird morality tales features
“Drugs Don’t Make It”, “How
Honest are You” & “Gang Boy”.
“Drugs Don’t Make It”: Like
“Circus With The Stars” only there
are drugs and burnouts instead of a circus. Made
in the mid 80’s, this living nightmare is
a “say no to drugs” campaign featuring
such big name stars as Sylvester Stallone, Michael
Jordan, Chuck Woolery & even Ed Winter, who
was Col. Flagg on “Mash”! All of these
people tell you how bad drugs are along with many
everyday losers who fell prey to the trap of drugs
and are now clean and sober. We hear about people
overdosing, sleeping in a garbage can, going into
prostitution and even spending time in jail!
“How Honest are You: Made in 1950 this educational
short, produced by Coronet, tells the story of
Bob, the star of the high school basketball team.
He is accused of stealing money from another player’s
locker. It looks like Bob is screwed until the
surprise twist ending that puts a whole new spin
on things! Gosh!
“Gang Boy”: Produced by Sid Davis
in 1954, this docudrama tells the story of Mexican
& Anglo gangs in southern California who call
a truce and work to better their neighborhoods.
