Bullying in America has reached epidemic proportions and is the most
common form of violence against young people. A year in the life of students and parents on the receiving
end of bullying is shown in the classrooms and in their homes. Some students have killed themselves
because they have no hope or any escape from the treatment they are
receiving. Adults have said they
will do something about what is happening but nothing changes. Parents, administrators, law
enforcement, students are struggling to find solutions.
A huge problem and solutions are not
easy. This film is one-dimensional
since the students doing the bullying are not interviewed. Why are they bullying and what steps
have been taken to stop them from bullying? 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
99 min, Doc directed by Lee Hirsch with Alex, Ja’Maya,
Kelby, David and Tina Long, Kirk Smalley.
Note:
Blockbuster 4*, imdb 7.2 out of 10, 86% critic 79% audience on Rotten
Tomatoes.
