"Affluenza" Verdict, Two Years Afterwards the Victim's Survivors Announce Making of Film

The country was captivated in 2013 when Ethan Couch, a drunk 16-year-old driver struck and killed a stranded motorist and three good Samaritans. The tragic nature of this event was compounded months later when Couch was only sentenced to probation—receiving no jail time—with his defense attorney citing the now famous term “affluenza”-a judgment that gained national scrutiny, drawing commentary from media personalities from Anderson Cooper to Dr. Drew Pinsky, cast of the View, Nancy Grace, etc.

Burleson, TX, May 22, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Husband and father of three, Brian Jennings, one of Couch’s victims, lived a life dedicated to youth work. A once troubled teen himself, Jennings fervently sought after marginalized youth during his 20-year ministry, offering to them a message of hope.

Two years after his death, Jennings’ friends and loved ones, with the help of award-winning filmmaker Ron Gonzalez have embarked on a journey to turn this tragedy into something good through the Brian Jennings Project—a film that will not only shed some light on the Ethan Couch trial and heartbreaking deaths of four souls, but will also share a story rich in God’s forgiveness and redemptive love.

The Brian Jennings Project—a 501(c)3 non-profit organization—is now in the funding stages at: www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-brian-jennings-story#/story

Director Ron Gonzalez is available for interviews upon request.
