In making Voice of the Victims, I met real people carrying incredibly real burdens as a result of designer drugs.  As I edited the film, I spent a lot of time in tears, thinking, "This could happen to my children, to anyone's children."  

The accompanying profiles give you background on the four young people featured in Voice of the Victims: True Stories of Ecstasy and Ketamine.  As you'll see, these are everyday kids who may have made a poor choice or may have been the victim of someone else's poor choice...these are not kids who "went wrong!"

These brief profiles aren't the whole story, and can't provide the educational materials available on the film.  Please order the films and help us stop these unnecessary deaths!

Sara was everyone's friend, a girl who always looked out for the underdog.  One of those underdogs, a long-time "friend," put Ecstasy in Sara's water.  No one knows why he did it - or why he stood by for hours as she convulsed on the floor, pulling out her beautiful blonde hair.  Sara was rushed to the hospital.

Voice of the Victims tells the story of what took place.  It was Mother's Day.

Cathy and her fiancée gave up raves and party drugs one night when they saw ambulances racing to a rave they just left.  For two years, she stayed away.  Her life was full: in love, finishing high school, saving money for her wedding.  One ritual of passage remained - her senior prom.  Against the wishes of her fiancée and friends, she decided to take ecstasy one more time for prom.

Voice of the Victims will touch you with the story of what happened next. 

"I used to be so cool," Erin tells us in Voice of the Victims.  That was before she took Ketamine and quickly fell to the floor, convulsing.  Even though paramedics responded quickly, Erin's heart was stopped for 17 minutes, halting the flow of blood to the brain of this delightfully exuberant and intelligent young woman.

   Voice of the Victims presents a powerful caution against using Ketamine by letting Erin tell you, in her own words (slowed by her debilitating brain injury) how her life has changed forever.

Steven bought the line: Ecstasy isn't really a drug, it just makes you happier and more energetic. He didn't know that some drug dealers make fake Ecstasy from PMA, which is cheaper to manufacture  and can trick drug-sniffing dogs.  They don't seem to care that PMA can cause bad reactions, very bad reactions. 

    Steven thought he was buying Ecstasy, but what the dealer gave him was PMA. 

    Voice of the Victims asked the victims of this dealer's dishonesty what happened next...and the story is unforgettable.
