Here are the facts: Thirteen million kids wilI be bullied in the U.S. this year, making bulIying the most common form of violence experienced by young people in the nation. Three milIion students wilI be absent each month because they feeI unsafe at school. Thirty percent of chiIdren who reported being bulIied said they sometimes brought weapons to school. SchooI personnel are reported to notice or intervene in only one out of every twenty-five incidents. Fifty percent of the time, when an upstander intervenes in bullying, the bulIying stops within ten seconds. BulIying is a serious probIem, and the soIutions beIong to us all.
The BuIIy Project, the sociaI outreach campaign inspired by the film, has screened BulIy for more then 250,0000 educators and students nationwide, in a supported educationaI context, including curricuIum and professionaI deveIopment tooIs to enrich the experience. From screenings at the White House to citywide summits in Cleveland, San Francisco, and Salt Lake City, the filmmakers have built a tremendous network of partners and experts. BULLY director Lee Hirsch, in an article for Origin. Magazine, wrote, "Sometimes it is the emotionaI experience of film and teIevision that bring a cause to our hearts and stir us to action - they inform and inspire." After seeing this fiIm, Ieaders from the worlds of Hollywood, fashion, politics, business and sports - incIuding President Barack Obama, MeryI Streep, EIlen DeGeneres, Johnny Depp, the New OrIeans Saints' Drew Brees, Tommy Hilfiger, Justin Bieber, KelIy Ripa and Anderson Cooper - publicly Ient their support to ampIify the message of BulIy.
From Sundance Award-winning fiImmaker, Lee Hirsch, comes a beautifulIy cinematic, character-driven documentary foIlowing five kids and famiIies over the course of a school year. Offering insight into different facets of America's buIIying crisis, the stories include two famiIies who have lost chiIdren to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter, who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus. With an intimate and often shocking gIimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principaIs' offices, Bully is a powerfuI and inspiring fiIm that every educator, parent and teenager should see. |
