Sequel to documentary about meth planned

CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Jack Bridges thinks the documentary he commissioned chronicling his son's eventual death from years of methamphetamine abuse dissuaded others from using the powerful stimulant.

Now, Bridges and the former TV cameraman in Southern Illinois behind that effort, "No More Sunsets," are planning a sequel.

Bridges is working with Chip Rossetti on "No More Sunsets: Out of the Darkness."

The first half-hour film told the story of Shawn Bridges' decline from meth addiction until his death last March in Cape Girardeau. He was 35.

Rossetti says the sequel is meant to be more inspirational in demonstrating that kicking drugs is doable.

The sequel could be released as soon as next month.
