Review of Drug and Alcohol Vox Pop
More than a half-dozen students start rattling off slang names for drugs, an excellent hook for this six minute interview mashup. This discussion gives a firsthand look at peer pressure and the physical and mental effects of drugs.
While Adomako Amankwah's commentary is adequate, the people he (and co-producer Michelle Suarez) interviewed make this well-edited piece shine.
