“Highly Recommended! This non-narrated program tells the compelling story of a boy from a happy, nurturing family who is lured into drug use by his curiosity. Progressing from smoking to syringes, he remains in a transparent bubble, isolated from his parents and peers. Students, parents and teachers will find this a discussion-promoting tool.” – School Library Journal

“Highly Recommended! The bubble symbol effectively helps to portray in stark terms the family dynamics of the situation, as the ever-growing bubble becomes the center of everyone’s life.” – Animation World Magazine

“Recommended. An intriguing depiction of the cycle of drug addiction as a young boy falls prey to a drug dealer’s enticement. Wordless animation shows a growing bubble representing the expanding isolation of the addict’s world.” – NAMTC & NMM Review

Oscar winning animator, Borge Ring (Anna and Bella), uses his expertise in animation to weave the tale of a young boy from a happy family who falls victim to a drug dealer who exploits the boy’s curiosity about drugs with a disastrous result.

Produced by Borge and Joanika Ring.
