Kids From the Other Side (2015) Drug overdose is now the #1 cause of accidental death in the United States. We have seen a 184% increase in fatal overdoses in only 3 years. The Other Side is the result of studies of hundreds of high school aged kids who have never abused a substance and found a common key to their success. If middle school-aged kids make a commitment to never use drugs before they are faced with peer pressure they are more likely to stick to that goal. Director Dominic Tierno. 18 minutes
