Addiction: Cunning, Baffling and Powerful
Addiction is a very complex and abstract concept for people to understand, especially young people. We specialize in education through the use of the media arts. We take the words, “Cunning, Baffling and Powerful” and personify them. In a short movie, young people can see how predatory addiction really is. We add a brief overview of “neuroadaptation” the actual change in the brain that addiction causes. It’s now a chronic disease that must be managed, it’s not going away. We also show red flags for kids to look for so they can become aware and begin to adjust their own behavior. We include the reason for and benefit of support meetings. DVD purchase includes full script and clay lesson plans for replication in your own community. Just EMAIL LINDA at taproot@redwing.net after purchase and we’ll send on the PDF files.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com’s standard return policy will apply.

This DVD production is a great personification of the words “Cunning, Baffling, Powerful” which anyone in an alcohol recovery support program is familiar with. This “personification” gives a good visual picture of the thoughts, feelings and imaginings many addicted individuals experience. It gives personality to addiction, and it’s not a pretty personality. As one member of our AA group said, “it’s strange to think that there is something inside me that wants to kill me”. But, that’s the nature of addiction. Awareness, support, and living a 12-step program is a good and necessary approach for this chronic condition.
Not to mention, this is a very well done DVD.

The utilization of a visual medium as an education tool lends itself to innumerable explorations. One of these explorations presents itself in the DVD, Addiction: Cunning, Baffling and Powerful. Taproot, Inc.’s founding members, Linda Flanders and, Dorothy Halla-Poe have upended the standard training module by using students as actors, allowing them to explore the everyday risks that youth encounter and face. As educators, we constantly ask and probe, “How do we instruct students to connect the abstract to the real?” The answer may lie in such a film as, Addiction, which successfully constructs a concrete portrayal of the elusive term, addiction, and its dependent offspring: cunning, baffling, and powerful. Addiction, defined as a dual character within the film, allows the viewer to witness the struggle of dependency in physical terms.
As educators, we must acknowledge that our children have grown within the digital age. The alternative styles to an education are limitless and it is paramount to provide understanding through associative visual learning and active experience. The members of Taproot, Inc. are laying the foundation for these opportunities and many others within the field of education.

I was completly miss-led by the description and title. This dvd has no educational advantage and is complete waste of time and money.
