"WHADDYADO" is a half-hour weekly educational series designed to
educate, inform, inspire and entertain children 16 & under (specific
target audience is 13-16) about the world around them. Each episode is
an educational life-lesson, based in reality, intended to prepare young
people for potential situations that could easily crop up at any time,
anywhere. Using a combination of actual dramatic footage, re-enactments,
and demonstrations, "WHADDYADO" provides a compelling look at perilous
situations that have occurred in real life. Then, using interviews with
the participants, and instructions from experts, we learn what the
proper reaction should be when faced with similar life-threatening
circumstances. Also, in an effort to help young people make right
decisions, some episodes will feature a Moral Dilemma segment.
