It's Not An Accident

$109.00

In 1991, Jason Barber was racing friends and driving drunk. They all thought they were just having a good time, but that changed in a split second when he caused a crash that killed his 15-year old brother, Aaron. Jason was convicted of vehicular manslaughter and sentenced to prison for six years. He was released in 1995, and has now been sober for over 12 years. Since his release, he has furthered his education as a Human Services major with an emphasis on Drug and Alcohol Counseling. He now works in high schools as a facilitator of drug and alcohol groups for at-risk youth, and has also facilitated parent outreach groups, teaching parenting skills and communication techniques for better parent/teen relationships. This has given Jason the opportunity to meet three other families who have suffered similar losses because of drunk driving. In It's NOT An Accident, he dynamically tells those stories along with his own. Jason has been written about in numerous newspapers, appeared on cable talk shows, and has been a guest on the nationally televised LEEZA SHOW. It's Not An Accident received a CHRIS AWARD (Columbus International Film and Video Festival) in 2000, in the education category.
