Bully’: New Film Tackles America’s Most Insidious Epidemic.

Director speaks up about making ‘Bully’ and being  ‘wailed on’ as a child.

In the powerful new film Bully, director Lee Hirsch takes an intimate look at how bullying impacts the lives of five kids and their families. Lee and his team spent one year filming and were given permission to be "flies on the wall" to capture what was happening in our schools.
The documentary focuses on Alex, a 12-year-old whose classmates terrorize him on the bus and refer to him as "fish face" in school (the violence toward Alex was so extreme that Hirsch and his crew had to intervene); Kelby, a 16-year-old lesbian who has been ostracized by her community; and Ja'Meya, a young girl in Mississippi who brought a handgun on the bus to ward off bullies.
Parents David and Tina Long and Kirk and Laura Smalley are also featured in the film. Both had children who committed suicide because of the torment they faced in school: 17-year-old Tyler Long and 11-year-old Ty Smalley.
