About the project

One decision can change everything.

Yucaipa High School's Every 15 Minutes program is a staged educational reenactment created to show the real consequences of drunk and impaired driving. The film follows the ripple effects of one poor decision across friends, families, classmates, first responders, and the wider community.

Its purpose is to remind students that the choices they make behind the wheel matter. Never drink and drive. Never get in a car with someone who has been drinking. Make the safe choice, because one decision can change everything.

Community effort

Acknowledgments

A huge thank you to the police officers, firefighters, paramedics, dispatchers, and emergency personnel who gave their time, experience, and support to make this reenactment feel real and impactful for students.

We would also like to thank the hospital, court, jail, school staff, volunteers, local agencies, and community partners who helped bring the program together. This film would not have been possible without the people and organizations who showed up to educate students and make a lasting impact.

Your choices matter.

Never drink and drive.
