Moira’s “You Are My Sunshine” cover used in US drug awareness video
Moira dela Torre’s “You Are My Sunshine” rendition gave a touching accompaniment to a high school video that won in the Elks Drug Awareness Program in the United States because of its throbbing depiction of how drug use affects families and leads to loss of loved ones.
The “Sunshine” video — featuring a progression of a precious baby girl into a rebellious teenager who got entangled in drug use — received the National Award for Best High School Video Public Service Announcement in August this year.
THE song was first used in the movie “Meet Me in St. Gallen.”
Moira’s heartwarming recording, released as part of the soundtrack of the 2018 Filipino film Meet Me in St. Gallen, was used in the “Sunshine” video directed by Sandy Beach (EMHS ’19) representing El Modena High School in California and produced by EMTV.

The contest organizer, Elks Drug Awareness Program, later partnered with the Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States Department of Justice and a popular YouTube channel, FBE (with 19 million subscribers), to produce a reaction video which features the winning video, “Sunshine,” as well as some former drug addicts talking about their painful journey and recovery.
