Drinking and Driving story
This short video tells the tragic story of the death of two teenage sisters. It tells how the two sisters had been present at a party where alcohol was involved, and they spent much of the night partying. The soul survivor of the crash, and friend of theirs recalls the driver not being noticeably drunk, not tripping or stumbling around. Much of the video features a conversation with the parents of the deceased, talking about the impact it had on their lives, as well as how they bounced back from it. The parent's started an organization where intoxicated kids could call a number and get a ride home no questions asked. The parents of the two girls are trying to make a change in the lives of others out of their tragic story. The video pulls you in using the sad, slow, dramatic piano music. That along with the heartfelt, teary interviews shows the producer of the video's use of pathos to draw in the audience. He uses technology to his advantage, combining spoken word, text, music, and videos from the scene first hand to make us empathize with the kids and their parents. It also uses ethos to convince people not to drink and drive. These are words spoken by people who have experienced the possible tragedies that result because of drunk driving. There is no better source to listen to about drunk driving than a family member, or person whom experienced it first hand.
