Bully(2012) -Short Movie Review




Plot Summary:
Directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, Bully is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of America's bullying crisis. Bully follows five kids and families over the course of a school year. Stories include 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 glimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principals' offices, the film offers insight into the often-cruel world of the lives of bullied children. -- (C) Weinstein

Review:








Stories told in this documovie shall wrench your heart and make you fail at fighting back the tears as you watch children undergo the long and painful experience of bullying. Violence portrayed in this documentary requires parents or adults to be beside their kids while watching this. While this is a tough movie to watch it may be the shock people need to make a change.


Fave Character:
Alex Libby playing himself.
