From the teacher's notes

"The film Choices focusses on two characters - Denton and Charmaine. Each has a crucial and serious choice to make, bringing into play their senses of loyalty and justice. The choice for each tests their courage, which is what creates the dramatic tension." - Scene teacher's notes spring 1997 p.40.
