7:52 am
to allow victims to seek justice when they're ready. not some of those that oppose the bill say that they should come forward. >> and to be clear, the bill is not retroactive, meaning it will apply only to domestic violence incidents that take place after it signed into law. it next heads to the assembly appropriations committee reporting at the state capitol. a tonn wallace kron. 4 news. >> fisherman's wharf business is shut down after a the business owners try allegedly tried to bribe an undercover fbi agent. the suspects minute high pay. conan knicks lighthouse on taylor street charges filed last year claimed the pair tried to bribe an undercover fbi agent and port employee to secure leases on to other vacant restaurant properties in this tourist area. the city worker notify their supervisor which led to the city alerting authorities. court documents show the couple is due in court on tuesday. city of oakland skated their way into summer last night. rapper and philanthropist mistah fab

states. senator susan rubio baldwin park says she sending with her bill sb 690, if signed into law. the legislation would extend the statute of limitations in domestic violence cases, giving prosecutors more time to charge domestic violence suspects as it stands today. state law allows prosecutors to charge someone up to 5 years after an alleged domestic violence incident took place but should sb 690, be signed. prosecutors will be allowed to chart some up to 15 years after that incident. this will be victims of time too. 2 breeze, 2 x help seek help and do put all their affairs in order in order to meet a situation safely. a survivor herself. rubio says this issue is especially important to her. she was the state senator behind the 2019 law that increased the domestic violence statute of limitations to its current 5 years. but she says after meeting with countless survivors, she believes 5 years is not enough. she also says this recently released video showing music mogul sean diddy combs punching and kicking ex-girlfriend in 2016.

things break down with that little sneaky low. that's going to a little relief. stephanie. all right, dave, thanks so much. >> the fentanyl epidemic continues to take the lives of teens nationwide here in the bay last got his high school seniors capturing the crisis on camera through a new documentary. the film fentanyl high has already been screened at noon, numerous south bay movie theaters, high schools and community centers. joining us live now is the film's director kyle santoro. good morning to you, kyle morning. stephanie. thank you so much for having me. and thank you for joining us. you know, tell us a bit about what inspired you to do this film. it is such an important topic and a heavy one as well. >> yeah. so at the beginning of my sophomore year, we actually had somebody overdose on ourncampus it was unfortunately a time where the news was just flooded with stories of parents screaming for their suffered from fentanyl poisoning. and at the time that there were actually
9:48 am
parents and teens are parents who lost their kids in our so it wasn't something those far is right here, right in our school district school community. and so about rrally caught our, you know, community on their feet when it came addressing this epidemic. was really initial stages of this project. and so but growing up in taipei, taiwan and moving here and adjusting to the high school culture. there are a lot of things that i didn't necessarily know. and so, for example, you know, on campus, you know, a lot of teenagers to use substances on there's party culture in america. and those were all things that are new to me. and so when i got here to the united states, i was born in san francisco and i moved to taiwan. but when i got to back to the bay area, i really had to adjust to all these things. and i just it was a question that i kept asking myself is why are teens self-medicating do something that i was asking all the way from the beginning and then
9:49 am
dot really developed into something that i wanted pursue with this project. and our school community. they were desperate for, you know, looking for resources to build, educate the teenagers and their parents on this specific epidemic. and so, yeah. >> it truly is heartbreaking to hear that. yes, these incidents are happening right now are very own backyard here at local school districts in the bay area. tell us about the different stories that you're telling and this documentary and how you were able to find peers who are brave to enough to speak up and share their stories. yeah. so i think the most important thing that this project really talks about is not only that the general fund fentanyl epidemic, but also the wind behind teenage self medication. >> there's just so many things contribute to why teenagers self-medicate in the first place. so i was grateful enough interview parents who unfortunately lost their kids teams. we experimented with
9:50 am
paramedics who were, you know, on site when the have to tell parents if your teenager has passed. but, you know, i think having it being teen led is the most important thing that this contributes to society there's not many teenage resources out there that are approaching it from a teenage lead and i feel like having all these perspectives come together really contributes to that narrative. narration of hope and that this is a teenage led movement and needs evolve on that home. >> and kyle, you've gotten such incredible interest from public health officials here in the bay area. you just did a screening in partnership with the san francisco public health department. i believe that we were showing some images from that san francisco jazz as well. and we're also showing some images of some of the cast members, real people, you know, who who have been affected by this crisis. you mentioned that you wanted to uncover and really highlight why your your peers are self-medicating. as you put it. what were some of the
9:51 am
reasons? >> so, you know, there so many reasons, but i would say on a general level, you know, high school culture is a thing of its own. you know, there's clicks. there's peer pressure theirs academic stress. there's domestic stress and i would say huge factor was the lack of communication home, but also on campus, you know, having a lack of communication home or if a the teen is not satisfied with the level of validation affection, the tension that they're receiving a home, they're going to go outside the household to look for that and other places. and unfortunately and in this day and age, lot of teams formed on healthy coping mechanisms such as drugs, alcohol partying. and it's it's quite form of escapism for a lot of kids. so and divorce within households, a young age that also has stopped that that's a big thing among a lot of the cast members to that were involved in this project. one of my cast members actually just had her to your sobriety.
9:52 am
so it's been a very 30 p to process for a lot of the teams have been involved in this project. >> well, thank you so much for surfacing these important stories and how do you have a if are parents for policymakers about what we can collectively do to address this issue that is taking so many lives. >> so most importantly or at minimum, i would say. any poll that is offered to a teenager in your hand. if it is not prescribed to you by doctor or pharmacist. you have you should assume that it can kill you. it is. that is not a risk. do you want to take in des moines that takes only about 2 milligrams to kill you epidemic. it's not only about pills and experimentation self-medication, but it's also the why and all the things behind why teens contribute self-medicating. the first place. so really keeping an open line of communication within household. we'll help to maintain that relationship
9:53 am
and really have a healthy relationship with your family. we trust funds to really convey that. that we as a society need to come together and change this because it is not just teenagers, but that's not just one group of people who are suffering from this epidemic. but as a society, we need to come together to embrace this teenage voice for change. and i think in general too collaborating with activist and artist together can be really effective way of making change in society. in our last 10 seconds here call, how can people watch the film screening? >> right now we have been doing, you know, screenings across the bay area in prison screenings. we did our last one of us of and i want to thank some sunscreen. if i do see why san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins, the city and county of san francisco's public, health department >> but if you visit our website for high dot com and has screening calendar we're also utilizing the streaming platform on our website streaming portal to be able to reach teenagers and school specifically throughout
9:54 am
