Follows kids over a school year who are being bullied. And interviews family and friends of some victims who had taken their own lives. Including an 11yo I think.
Documentary makers usually have to stand back and watch regardless to get their story. But are compelled to step in with one boy when they see the extent of his suffering.
Absolutely heartbreaking. Watched it on the flight home from Vegas last year. I was choking back tears. My mate fell apart in the opening bit. He eventually couldn't watch it. But it is sad, infuriating, and something that should help stop bullying. A compete must watch in my eyes. The levels that it takes and the ignorance of some teachers. One head teacher will have you in a rage. I wanted to slap her so hard for her what she put it down to.

That was heartbreaking, but a must watch for any parent with kids in school.
I would have lost it with that principal, condescending woman.

My mates keep telling me to watch search for the sugar man. I've got Senna so I need to give that a watch too.

I was more pissed off with the makers of the film, found myself pretty much shouting at the screen wondering why they didnt just step in.

Yeah my mate told me in the pub last night that the american trailer gave away the twist? I am going to watch it without looking into it.

I am curious as I dont know the musician it is focused around, but I suppose this adds to it.

Where would the reality of what happens in many schools have come from, if they had of stopped what really goes on?
I am glad that they stepped in though with Alex.
Life is cruel and kids are very cruel, it is better to see the little fuckers in action, than to say it is all part of growing up. The kind of shit they do is not natural.
