Information About the Film
Hawaii’s rampant crystal methamphetamine (ice) use and its devastating effects on the local community are examined in “ICE: Hawaii’s Crystal Meth Epidemic.” The show, directed by award-winning filmmaker Edgy Lee and produced by Jeffrey Mueller, reveals riveting stories of ice addicts, children of addicts, and foster parents who care for newborns of women addicted to ice. The film details how ice affects the community at large and how it is linked directly to an increase in violent crime; child, elder, and spousal abuse; theft; rising insurance and retail rates, as well as social services and medical costs; and human costs that transcend dollar amounts.
A host of international and local leaders – many of whom have been on the frontlines leading the fight against ice use – are also included in the film. Included are Governor Linda Lingle & Lt. Governor James “Duke” Aiona; Senator Daniel Inouye and Congressman Ed Case; University of Hawaii President Dr. Evan Dobelle; Department of Education Superintendent Pat Hamamoto; University of Hawaii Head Football Coach June Jones; Mayor Harry Kim, County of Hawaii; and Family Court Judge Frances Wong.
Lee and Mueller believe that education about the drug through these projects is a critical step – but only the start of a long road ahead – in eradicating ice in Hawaii. "With one of the highest rates of ice use in the nation, Hawaii is in a state of crisis," said Mueller. "This film will raise awareness about the problem and hopefully lead to increased efforts by the whole community to address this issue.”
Led by Lt. Governor Aiona, the administration is using the film to
launch a statewide informational program. The impact of “ICE”
and “ICE 2” (a version of the film that will address youth)
will be further extended through community outreach programs and by
making the films available to schools, libraries, community groups,
agencies, and organizations. All of these elements will be distributed
throughout the state and the Pacific Rim (Guam, Saipan, American Samoa,
the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau) where the
ice problem has taken hold.
Additional Support
A fundraising event is presently in planning stages, where “ICE
2” will be premiered for those attending. Production support is
needed for both films and for educational and community outreach. The
Pacific Arts Foundation (TPAF) is asking for contributions, which are
tax deductible and may be made by contacting William Lum, TPAF Treasurer,
at (808) 585-9005.
