Bully

What happens when the school bus is synonymous to purgatory and the courtyard is plain hell? 13 million children will become victims of bullying in the US alone and will be forced to grow up a lot faster than God and "civilized" society intended.

What happens when the school bus is synonymous to purgatory and the courtyard is plain hell? 13 million children will become victims of bullying in the US alone and will be forced to grow up a lot faster than God and "civilized" society intended. The multi-award winning documentary by Lee Hirsch will bring you face-to-face with a silent plague, which demands that you take a stand against physical, psychological and oral violence, imposed on children all over the world. Watching the shocking footage from your average school day across the US, you will soon discover that not every kid is innocent and not every teacher defends the weak. 8-year-olds driven to suicide, online smear campaigns targeting anyone singled out as "different", even jail-time for children with revolutionary tendencies, taking a walk on the wild side of the US school system comes at a high price. Free of embellishments, gimmicks and Michael Moore theatrics, "Bully" is meant to raise consciousness, issue a warning and open your eyes to something a lot of people would prefer to keep out of sight. Ph.V.
