The document summarizes the storyboard for a 7-screen video called "Don't Be a Statistic". It follows 4 friends, with one getting arrested, one dying from violence, and the last walking alone. Later screens show mentoring youth and all 4 friends reunited. The video's message is to avoid peer pressure and guide youth in the right direction to avoid becoming a statistic of the challenges facing urban youth.
