A Time to Die

Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

Created by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, "A Time To Die" teaches an age-old lesson about how alcohol and boating don't mix, and can have catastrophic consequences. The film begins with two male friends, heading out to water ski on a sunny summer day. The pair consume high amounts of Budweiser beer throughout the day. At the end of the film an accident takes place costing the life of one of the boys. This film was created with the intention of showing viewers the dangers of operating machinery while under the influence, especially vehicles and boats. It is relevant to note some of the footage is considerably graphic. The film has no credit sequence per se, but seems likely to have been created by students at the University of Nebraska's Speech and Dramatic Arts Dept.
