4 or 40: The Choice is Yours

4 or 40 logoThe San Diego County District Attorney's Youth Advisory Board proudly presents the film premiere of "4 or 40: The Choice is Yours," a short film centered on the hard, life choices made daily by teens.

The idea of "4 or 40" was conceived by the San Diego District Attorney's Youth Advisory Board, made up of Lincoln High students. The title is based on the concept of choosing wisely during four years of high school or risking 40 years of struggles and hardships. The students crafted the film's story, helped during film shoots and offered input during every step of the film's production. The film was written, videotaped and edited by a local film production company while graphic designers contributed to its branding. The Youth Advisory Board will be visiting classrooms throughout San Diego County to screen the film, talk about its production and speak on its positive message.
