Netflix producers recently joined the Law student body to film a documentary about the effects of vaping at Jonathan Law High School.
In a series about teenage lifestyle, Law will be featured in an episode for the school’s past honesty and openness about their experiences with vaping by students.
“I was called by this production company used by Netflix called Zero Point Zero Productions,” said Principal Mr. Thompson. “They have done documentaries for Netflix in the past and this is their new project.”
The producers asked to meet some students from Law and follow them around their life in and outside of school.
Law senior Bella Carroll was one of these students.
“Overall, it was an interesting experience,” said Carroll. “They had come to my house after school and before school the next morning to get a feel of what the life of an average high schooler is like.”
The students were asked questions about how they have seen e-cigarettes affect the school.
“They mainly had filmed interviews of my three friends and I, asking about what role e-cigarettes, mainly the juul, had in school,” Carroll said. “They asked everything from how many of my friends I’ve seen use it, to how our school tries to prevent it.”
The series is going to cover all aspects of teenage lifestyle with this episode devoted to vaping and how its affecting students.
“They are going to talk to health specialists and areas of government to discuss the consequences of vaping,” Thompson said.
Thompson is unsure of exactly how the high school was chosen to take part in this series.
“To be honest, they called, we talked, they came down to Milford and filmed,” said Thompson. “We don’t know if there are other school’s involved around the country.”
Law has taken significant strides to prevent students from using these harmful e-cigarettes, including closing and monitoring some restrooms to help keep students safe.
