BULLY- the movie: Community Screening and Dialogue

BULLY: Community Screening and Dialogue

The event is free. Pre-registration
is strongly recommended (space is limited). A facilitated discussion about the
film will directly follow the screening.


This year, over 13 million American kids will be bullied at
school, online, on the bus, at home, through their cell phones and on the
streets of their towns, making it the most common form of violence young people
in this country experience. BULLY, a documentary film directed by Sundance and
Emmy-award winning filmmaker Lee Hirsch, shows the human side to
this startling statistic, offering an intimate, unflinching look at how
bullying has touched five kids and their families. Filmed over the course
of the 2009/2010 school year, BULLY opens a window onto the pained and often
endangered lives of bullied kids, revealing a problem that transcends
geographic, racial, ethnic and economic borders. Join us to view the film and
to discuss the vital role we can all play in addressing this crisis.

NOTE:  Children are welcome, but please note that the film is
rated PG-13 for intense thematic material,
disturbing content and some strong language.
 Childcare is available for children whose parents want to
view the film, but requires an email by 10/25 to rviscomi@post.harvard.edu specifying
the names and ages of the children.
