Two 25-minute videos

Making life choices

 

These companion videos look at the life and times of Steve Arrington, a talented and hard-driving young man who was discharged from the Navy for selling marijuana and eventually served time in prison as a co-defendant in the John DeLorean drug trial. Out of the Night is a dramatic film that tells the story of Steve's choices, including his choice in prison to face his mistakes straight on and begin the journey back from darkness into light. Arrington Live is a powerful conversation with Steve, who engages an audience of young people, talking with them about the significance of the life-shaping decisions they make every day. Both videos will engage your students to think seriously before making the choices that could result in a life of missed opportunities and regrets.
