Drugs and Alcohol are the #1 health issue for American teens. And overdoses now kill 100 people a day, more than traffic accidents nationwide. Debunking the myth that most teens are involved in the partying culture, this groundbreaking documentary reveals the surprising truth that 70% make healthy choices about drugs and alcohol. Featuring real teens in five programs that empower them to think for themselves, and music composed and performed by the Road Recovery teen band mentored by rock stars, "The Silent Majority" shows that adult guidance, mentorship, and empowerment provide the key for teens to end a deadly epidemic.
