A brief segment from Beyond the Front, showing selection-producing and the branching storyline. Beyond the Front focuses on Suicide Prevention within the Army.
Alarmed by a record rate of suicide in its ranks, the Army has unveiled a exclusive prevention tool — an interactive video to be mandatory viewing Army-wide — in which soldiers will play the function of an anguished infantryman and make virtual options that lead the character to get assist or, in the worst case, shoot himself in the head. The video is 1 of many initiatives launched by the Army to try to stem the suicide rate among active-duty soldiers. That rate elevated from 12.four per 100000 in 2003, when the Iraq war started, to 18.1 per 100000 in 2007. willinteractive.com
