MTV Take A Stand Against Violence (1999)

In 1999, these computer films innovated by allowing viewers to use their mouse to navigate the films' plots. Viewers could resolve conflict or make it worse -- entertaining and educating themselves in the process. Reportedly, 1-million discs were shipped to high school students and other viewers. Youth violence dropped 30%. President Bill Clinton praised these interactive films in his radio address and at the White House. Viewers participate and write each story "live" as it happens. Viewers make choices that escalate or de-escalate each plot turn: a couple breaking up, friends arguing, etc. "Take a Stand Against Violence" co-won MTV the prestigious Governors Emmy -- awarded for "extraordinary and universal" filmmaking.
