"Educating our youth is our first line of defense. It takes a collaborative effort to combat this problem. I'd like to thank Hawai'i's television broadcasters for helping to spread the anti-drug message. By working together and getting involved, we can reduce the threats posed by dangerous addictive drugs... 80% of child abuse and endangerment cases in the United States today involve a parent or guardian that's a substance abuser. Meth has fueled this dramatically..."

John Walters, White House Drug Czar
Director Office of National Drug Control Policy

"Every dollar spent in education means seven dollars less spent on incarceration or any other back-end program. What Edgy and Jeff, are doing, and FilmWorks in particular, helps Hawai'i, it helps our families, it helps our communities and I am fully behind them."

Linda Lingle
Governor of Hawai'i

"I was the DEA special agent in charge in Los Angeles for the last five years and my territory was Southern California, all of Nevada, Hawai'i, Guam, Saipan -- and I can tell you in those five years that the efforts that were put into the ice film, and the efforts of the community and the law enforcement -- they had no idea what the results would be. The results would be a wake up call to Hawai'i. I first looked at that film a year ago, and my first impression was that this is exactly what was needed to get the people of Hawai'i to wake up."

Michele Leonhart
Deputy Administrator, DEA

"The fact that the video was produced in Hawai'i, for the people of Hawai'i, made it culturally appropriate and increased its effectiveness. Awareness of the physical dangers and emotional toll crystal meth use brings to families was well chronicled."

Patricia Hamamoto
Superintendent Department of Education

"If we... get somebody fired this thing is going to fail. We made a commitment as an industry... to help, not penalize."

Gary North
Senior Vice President, Matson Navigation Co. Pacific

"Thank you for your amazing opening presentation and follow up breakout session at the Third Annual Assessing and Treating Childhood, Adolescent and Adult Trauma Conference in Honolulu (2006). This event was a triumph in its quality program and diversity of attendees. Your support and presentations played an integral role in contributing to its success."

"I extend my deepest appreciation and congratulations to the staff and board of directors for its historical achievement of the 11 television station simulcast of the public service program ICE: Hawai'i's Crystal Meth Epidemic. This significant accomplishment is a shining example of what can be accomplished through public and private sector collaboration and community involvement... FilmWorks is a leader in raising public awareness about the dangers of crystal methamphetamine."

Edward Kubo
U.S. Attorney State of Hawai'i

"On behalf of the students and staff at Halau Ku Mana New Century Public Charter School, I want to express my appreciation and gratitude for your presentation to our students... I was impressed and humbled by your stories and all that you shared with our students... The (film) clips moved our students. I have seen very few people who can captivate and hold the attention of a rowdy group of close to 100, 6th to 12th graders... Drug Education and Prevention is an important topic that is especially relevant to our Native Hawaiian youth, families, and communities."

Malama Souza
Ola Kino Program Director, Halau Ku Mana New Century Public Charter School

"By (FilmWorks) efforts, we're able to bring this critical problem out to the light to help garner resources and try to establish networking and solutions. It makes our jobs easier as the word gets out of the problems we're facing in law enforcement. Again, on behalf of DEA, we're thankful of the support that's provided by FilmWorks in their documentary films."

Briane Grey
Asst. Special Agent in Charge, DEA Pacific Region

"Jeff Mueller has been conducting programs at the detention home for approximately one year now. His program lasts one hour and he conducts a separate program for both the boys' and girls' sides. His program involves an oral presentation built around a video piece... Speaking from first hand observation, I can say that my fellow Detention Home co-workers and I observe both the boys and the girls experience a professional and profound presentation. We are particularly impressed with this program model and would support and encourage any efforts on behalf of RecoveryWorks to bring this program into the classroom."

Michael Robertson, DSB JDO
Family Court of the First Judicial Circuit, State of Hawai'i

"We have collaborated on delivery of services for the maritime, hotel, and agriculture industries as well as the development of video presentations to be used for Substance Abuse Education and Prevention in the workplace. We find the staff of RecoveryWorks to be a valuable resource to address Hawai'i's growing problems with Alcohol and Drugs."

"We here at KUAM understand the ongoing epidemic of Ice and the need to raise the level of awareness. The film aired during an eleven-station (Hawaii) simulcast. Guam, KUAM would like to do the same. The film is not only educational, but may very well open the eyes of many residents who will no longer stand for ice use and distribution in their neighborhoods."

Marie Calvo-Monge
General Manager, Guam NBC & CBS affiliates

"This is not a tool for discipline... this is a very positive program. It's a big step forward. Let's all work together."
