Join us for a preview screening and conversation featuring Bully, the first feature documentary film to explore “a year in the life” of bullying in the United States. From the first day of school through the last, the film intimately follows the lives of a few of the many courageous kids and families bullying affects each day. The film captures the distress of bullying victims, the frustration of their parents, and in some cases, the overwhelming grief when bullying ends a life.
The event will include a panel conversation featuring Lee Hirsch, director of Bully and Emmy award-winning filmmaker. Facing History is an educational partner for the documentary and will publish a facilitator’s guide to accompany it. Bully premieres nationally in U.S. theaters on March 9.
