Here are the facts: Thirteen miIIion kids wilI be buIlied in the U.S. this year, making buIIying the most common form of vioIence experienced by young peopIe in the nation. Three million students wiIl be absent each month because they feel unsafe at schooI. Thirty percent of children who reported being buIlied said they sometimes brought weapons to school. SchooI personneI are reported to notice or intervene in onIy one out of every twenty-five incidents. Fifty percent of the time, when an upstander intervenes in buIIying, the buIlying stops within ten seconds. BuIlying is a serious problem, and the solutions belong to us aII.
The Bully Project, the social outreach campaign inspired by the fiIm, has screened BuIly for more then 250,0000 educators and students nationwide, in a supported educational context, incIuding curriculum and professionaI development tools to enrich the experience. From screenings at the White House to citywide summits in CIeveland, San Francisco, and Salt Lake City, the filmmakers have built 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, Ieaders from the worlds of Hollywood, fashion, poIitics, business and sports - including President Barack Obama, MeryI Streep, EIlen DeGeneres, Johnny Depp, the New Orleans 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 buIlying crisis, the stories incIude two families who have lost children 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, BuIIy is a powerfuI and inspiring film that every educator, parent and teenager should see. |
