A view of the settlement.

Dramatized documentary: Examines the effects of the alcohol on the people of Frobisher Bay, Northwest Territories. In the film teenagers Paul and Rebecca help their friend Dave who is starting to drink heavily. The film highlights the Ladies Health Committee which addresses health issues in the community and the Alcohol Therapy Group which deals directly with those who are having trouble with alcohol. Dave attends study group meetings sponsored by these two groups and learns how alcohol affects the human body and listens to elders of the community talk about their experiences with alcohol and who warn the younger people of the dangers of alcohol. This is an English language version of the film. An Inuit language version was also made.
