While state legislators in Madison debate how to pay for increased penalties for drunk drivers, students at one Wisconsin high school are featured in a new film, which highlights the dangers of drunk driving. A party gone wrong is played out by McFarland High School students for their peers. The film is called ‘Shattered‘ and has a showing in McFarland for the public tonight. Senior Kyle Kubecheck plays a non-drinking student who goes to a party where alcohol is served – but who does nothing to stop it or prevent others from getting behind the wheel
