Bully

98 minutes • 2011 • 7.3

Every year, 13 million young people are bullied in the United States. This harrowing documentary takes us into the everyday lives of five children and their families throughout a school year. Their testimonies, in addition to recordings from classrooms, school buses and canteens, provide an important insight into the daily harassment many people experience - especially in school contexts. Some children are driven to suicide by bullying, while others end up threatening their tormenting spirits with weapons.

Bully is not only a tragedy, but also a film full of hope and fighting spirit, with a desire to make a difference. The victims of bullying become the heroes of the film by telling their stories and bravely standing up for the right to be different.
