Watch Bully For Free
Bully
This year, over 5 million American kids will be bullied at school, online, on the bus, at home, through their cell phones and on the streets of their towns, making it the most common form of violence young people in this country experience. The Bully Project is the first feature documentary film to show how we've all been affected by bullying, whether we've been victims, perpetrators or stood silent witness. The world we inhabit as adults begins on the playground. The Bully Project opens on the first day of school. For the more than 5 million kids who'll be bullied this year in the United States, it's a day filled with more anxiety and foreboding than excitement. As the sun rises and school busses across the country overflow with backpacks, brass instruments and the rambunctious sounds of raging hormones, this is a ride into the unknown.

As Good As It Gets
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
As a parent this was tough to watch, seeing how alone kids really are once they step out of the front door and are in the care of others. It was frightening to see the indifference and/or lack of any training that teachers have in this area.This meant that it pretty much made for a frustrating watch, seeing kids who should be protected, and parents who wanted to bring about changes, going up against a system that is conditioned to sweep it under the carpet.It is an important enough issue for this film to be essential watching for kids and parents alike.My only issue was that I would have liked to have heard a little from the other side. I appreciate that this was a documentary about the victims but it would have been nice to see some kind of engagement with the people who are the cause of the issues for these kids.
I thought the movie was cool. It reminded me of myself. I was bullied too, and it made me stronger. I am now 27, and I have lots of girl and some money because I am so strong. It made me happy now. I have many friends that are of support to me now because I was going through a tough time in high school. Kids are mean, but things have to change. I donates every year for bullying prevention, and i think I've done a lot. Alex in this film reminds me of not only myself but Spider-man because he is so strong and has his own way of dealing with things. 1) be a good person 2) study 3) u will make your money. Everybody I know loved this film and it was the best. Thing I saw so far. It didn't gross many money but u think It could've had more. I will give more. Thank you
I can't believe the access this crew had to these people's lives and moments. This will make you cry and make you angry at the same time, and inspire you, all at once. The bravery of the parents (I don't know how they go on) and the kids (ditto) is powerful.If you have kids, were once kid, or are a kid, you must see this. I wasn't bullied like the kids in this movie, and so far, my kid is not either, but it WILL effect and touch you just the same.I confess, I kind of avoided watching it for a while thinking I just wasn't in the mood for it, but once I started, I couldn't stop, and I wish it had been twice as long. Again, so moving.Thank you to the makers of this production for giving a larger, deeper voice to these stories than they get in media sound-bites. And for taking the time to collect these stories from such a diverse group of kids and families, showing that bullying can be for any reason or no reason at all.
Really shocked at the things that I saw in the documentary. Incredible eye-opener of what is going on in these (mostly southern) schools. The documentary covers maybe 4-5 families, some with children getting bullied, some with now-deceased children who were bullied. The story unfolds lacing the stories throughout and to fruition.Not a happy movie, not really a "happy ending" to every story (some happy, others not at all).The focus of the documentary is on the kids, but there is a decent amount on the families and school administrations as well. It is here that the saddest things in the film lie. Everyone around these kids - the admins, their own parents... the way they treat these kids and the problems they face like... makes me mad. I left the movie frustrated, mad, wanting to sock some little bullies right in the throat. High score because I suppose that's the point.Loses some points for me for what I consider a weak close to the film, and it overexposed some stories at the expense of others - some of the others were interesting, I thought, but didn't get quite enough airtime.
