Lena , a youth worker and community developer in Almaty, Kazakhstan, provides the following description of the videos:
Unlike many educational programs, these videos do not have a large informational content and are not meant to scare viewers with messages like, 'This is what happens to those who use drugs!' Although honest and provocative, they relate very simple stories and are thus readily accessible to young people. The characters' funny faces, the exotic city where the action takes place, the abundant stereotypes displayed, and even narrator's voice with a strong accent… all of these things invite children and youth to criticize the video, to 'remake' or 'rethink' it, and to analyze possible alternative courses of action.
