Welcome
"Don't Marry the Dragon" a documentary DVD about heroin addiction. The DVD is based on a poem I wrote in jail. The content and technical aspects of the DVD are available on the resource page in PDF format.
The DVD is considered, "real documentary". Although the DVD is useful to the public, it was created with the pre-teen child in mind, however; it may not be suitable for anyone under the age of nine. A guideline for parents is to ask these questions; would I let my child watch the TLC (The Learning Channel), or documentary programs on HBO? I suggest parents watch the DVD first. The DVD is 80 minutes in length. Watch Preview Clips

All images of the use of drugs and drug paraphernalia are real. There’s no vulgar language and there are no sexual explicit scenes. Viewer discretion is advised. Printer-friendly Version
As you might guess I had much help by many people in making this DVD as it took almost three years to complete. My nephew Mike Forcier was the most instrumental working by my side through the whole project.
"Shot Locally, Shown Globally" The DVD was shot in Seattle. Since the completion of the DVDin 2003 it has been shown in many places around the free world, but mostly in the United States. Some of the places it has been played in are: rehabilitation centers, detox facilities, hospitals, prisons,
police training, fire departments, public and private schools, youth detention
centers, teen runaway shelters, but it mostly has been viewed by the friends and families of addicts. The DVD was filmed in and around my hometown - Seattle, Washington, USA.
One last thing, I am a Christian and share about my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. You may want to read the review in the Newspaper Article that was written about the video. This is a non-partisan story by the Everett Herald.
Thank you for visiting the website!

Another DVD
Heroin & Health Consequences
This DVD has excerpts from Don't Marry the Dragon that specifically address the health consequences of using heroin. This video is educational in nature compared to Don't Marry the Dragon being more of a documentary. Heroin & Health Consequences is only 20 minutes long so it is a great DVD for a classroom setting.
