Bring Bully to Illinois
A social phenomenon has rocked the foundation of the United States school system, and it's being brought to the big screen. Director Lee Hirsch, having been a victim of bullying throughout middle school and his earlier childhood, has made it his mission to make people aware of the growing problem of bullying in school. The solution to his mission is his upcoming movie Bully, a documentary based on the almost constant dilemma in school.
The documentary follows the stories of bullying victims in school, and the parents of the victims. It has sparked some controversy for it's coarse language, earning it an R rating before the Weinstein Co. reached an agreement with the Movie Picture Assn. of America to cut the documentary, allowing for a PG-13 rating. As it stands now, the movie is to be released with a PG-13 rating so that both teenagers and parents alike can listen to the message that the director is portraying through cinema.
The project's activists have hired on numerous printing companies for poster printing to advertise the movie, and to also print fliers and catalogs with information for the public to allow others in the United States see the signs of bullying before it can escalate to dangerous levels. Flier printing and catalog printing have allowed this social project to gain the reputation needed to put it into theaters everywhere, therefore helping stem a growing problem.
The movie began playing in select theaters on March 30 and will play in theaters everywhere on April 13.
