Bully (originally titled The Bully Project) is a 2011 American documentary film directed by Lee Hirsch and produced by Hirsch and Cynthia Lowen. It documents the lives of five students who face bullying on a daily basis in U.S. schools.
The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 23, 2011,[2][3] and was acquired by The Weinstein Company immediately afterward.[4] It was subsequently screened at numerous other film festivals, including the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival[5] and the LA Film Festival,[6] and had its global premiere at the Ischia Film Festival in Italy on July 17, 2011.[7]
On the film's official website, the filmmakers promoted Bully as a tool to help combat bullying and facilitate an anti-bullying movement,[8] but these goals were jeopardized by its initial R rating from the MPAA. Following a failed appeal of the rating, The Weinstein Company released the film unrated in theaters in the United States on March 30, 2012.[9] After some profanity was removed, the film was re-rated PG-13, and this version of the film was released in theaters on April 13. The PG-13 version of the film was released on Blu-ray and DVD nearly a year later, on February 12, 2013.
David Long, the father of Tyler, speaks about his son's social issues (Tyler was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome) and how he suspected early on that the boy might become a victim of bullying. He mentions that Tyler's peers would demoralize him verbally and do things like taking his clothes when he showered, forcing him to leave naked, and shoving him into lockers. David says these actions contributed to Tyler's decision to commit suicide in 2009, at the age of 17.Alex Libby, who was born after 26-weeks' gestation and diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, is 12 years old. He is interviewed about his family and how nervous he is to begin a new school year, as he has issues with making friends.[11] His attempts to interact with his peers at the bus stop and on the bus are met with violent threats on both occasions. At school, other students are also bullied, and one of the school's vice principals attempts to resolve one incident by simply saying the children should get along.Kelby Johnson is a 16-year-old who has come out to his[a] hometown as a lesbian. He states that, due to the town's religious and societal beliefs, he no longer feels welcome, and was once even hit by a group of boys in a minivan, who accelerated into him as he was walking down the road. Kelby admits that he used to self-harm and has tried to commit suicide three times. His family mentions that when Kelby’s sexual orientation became known, even close friends stopped talking to them. During the school year, Kelby's peers bully and ignore him, and he quit playing basketball due to the verbal abuse of his teammates. He mentions that even the teachers harass him, such as by calling him as part of a separate roll call list. Although his parents have offered to move several times, Kelby refuses, stating that, “If I leave, they win.”Ja’Meya Jackson is a 14-year-old who lives with her mother in Yazoo County, Mississippi. An honor student and talented basketball player with plans to join the Navy in order to help her mother, she was repeatedly harassed by her peers. One day, she finally had enough, and brought her mother's gun to school and brandished it on the school bus to intimidate her bullies into leaving her alone.
