Bully

A documentary that follows the stories of five children and their personal experiences with being taunted, teased, emotionally and physically abused by their peers.

This is a very sad, very interesting story about the effects of bullying.  It is more than just the simple story of teenage angst or the horror we know as Jr. High or Middle School.  It is about community and how important the "golden rule" really is.  How being kind to others, particularly children, changes lives. In turn how being cruel can destroy them.

I saw this weeks ago while it still carried a "Not Rated" status. My understanding is that it went to the MPAA and received an R rating, due to content and language.  As this film is trying to reach out to the teenage demographic, it is being or has been re-edited to obtain a PG-13 rating.  Take your kids!

*** Must See


Currently "Not Rated" but should be re-released as PG-13 (for language and content matter)
