Production

Director Lee Hirsch was a victim of bullying as a child and decided to make a documentary so that the hidden lives of bullied children would be brought into the open. Hirsch approached the non-profit organization Fractured Atlas which gave him partial funding for the film. Significant additional funding was provided by Sundance Institute Documentary Fund, The Fledgling Fund, BeCause Foundation and Gravity Films. The film's music was composed by Ion Michael Furjanic (former member of the band Force Theory) and indie band Bishop Allen. --Wikipedia

This makes me absolutely sick. but also hopeful because this project is there. I get so irrationally angry when I see this kind of thing I have to censor my thoughts publicly, because if you all knew what I was thinking about these bullies and what I would like to do to each and every one of them... My heart aches for those parents. I am glad they are fighting back.

Yes, I definitely support what they are trying to accomplish and hope tat ti does make a difference. Trust me, I'm pretty sure my thoughts are just as bad, if worse. I experienced this crap first hand and hate seeing it happen to others.
