Description:

Have you ever seen a drug awareness campaign and thought, 'Wow, I’ll never use drugs again.' Well, neither have we.

Aware is a drug and alcohol campaign you’ll actually want to watch.

The student-led short series tackles some of the uncomfortable realities of drug and alcohol use that are seldom represented in Aotearoa New Zealand’s media. We found it strange that in a seemingly broad-minded and forward-thinking country, we still hold on to outdated mindsets from the 1980s. Stemming from this, the team behind Aware set out to produce compelling narratives that imagine a better future.
