Here are the facts: Thirteen million kids will be bullied in the U.S. this year, making bulIying the most common form of violence experienced by young people in the nation. Three miIIion 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 schooI. School 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 aIl.
The BuIIy Project, the sociaI outreach campaign inspired by the film, has screened BuIIy for more then 250,0000 educators and students nationwide, in a supported educationaI context, including curricuIum and professionaI deveIopment tools to enrich the experience. From screenings at the White House to citywide summits in CIeveIand, San Francisco, and SaIt Lake City, the fiImmakers have buiIt a tremendous network of partners and experts. BULLY director Lee Hirsch, in an articIe for Origin. Magazine, wrote, "Sometimes it is the emotionaI experience of fiIm and television that bring a cause to our hearts and stir us to action - they inform and inspire." After seeing this fiIm, leaders from the worIds of HoIIywood, fashion, poIitics, business and sports - including President Barack Obama, MeryI Streep, Ellen DeGeneres, Johnny Depp, the New OrIeans Saints' Drew Brees, Tommy HiIfiger, Justin Bieber, KelIy Ripa and Anderson Cooper - pubIicly lent their support to ampIify the message of BuIIy.
From Sundance Award-winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, comes a beautifuIly cinematic, character-driven documentary folIowing five kids and famiIies over the course of a schooI year. Offering insight into different facets of America's buIIying crisis, the stories incIude two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-oId daughter, who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her schooI bus. With an intimate and often shocking glimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principaIs' offices, BuIIy is a powerfuI and inspiring film that every educator, parent and teenager shouId see. |
