Welcome
"Don't Marry the Dragon" is a documentary video about heroin addiction. The video is based on a poem I wrote in jail. The content and technical aspects of the video are available on their respected pages in PDF format.
The video is considered, "real documentary". Although the video 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 video first. The video is 80 minutes in length.

A Little About Us
The organization of "Don't Marry the Dragon & Other Extreme Productions is a brainchild of mine. Although it’s a business, most of my products are free. Above are links to some other pages of interest including how to order the video.The video is on DVD although police agencies and some other institutions can still order it in the VHS format. As you might guess I had very much help by many people in making this video 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 video was shot in Seattle. Since the completion of the video in 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 video was filmed in and around my hometown - Seattle, Washington, USA. If you would like to know more about how I made the video go to: Making of the Video
Why is the Video Free?
The video is free to organizations, for more information go to the: Order Video Page There are two reasons why the video is free. The first reason is that I share about my Christian faith and I also give the message of Jesus Christ in the video. I felt that there should be no charge to hear the message about Jesus. Also see the disclaimer in the paragraph below this one. The second reason the video is free is because I took many liberties in the "Fair Use" doctrine of the US Copyright Code. One of the qualifications in order to do this was that the product was of a non-profit origin (free of charge). I may charge for shipping and handling in the future if this becomes a burden, however; there is no charge for shipping at this time. This would include outside the US as long as it can be shipped for the International Airmail rate.
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.
