A Family Legacy: A Portrait of Discovery & Recovery (Teen Video on Alcoholism)
SKU: 001576
Condition: New
Comments: Brand New. Through a dramatic and sometimes emotional dramatization this video shows the process of addiction and the effects of its progression through generations of a family. Susie Vanderlip evolves as a troubled participant from generation to generation as the legacy of a troubled family passes from parent to child to grandchild. At the outset, Susie is a teen with an alcoholic father, trying to please, feeling guilty, torn between love and hate. She latches on to a boyfriend who treats her much the way her father treated her mother, and only when her daughter has a baby with the possibility of AIDS does she seek help - and finds it in a recovery group where she learns that she is responsible for her own well-being. The words are blunt and realistic. Many teens will find the message delivered in this format more effective than the usual lecture. 25 minutes. Appropriate for Adolescent and Adult viewers.
