They are produced by the National Film Board of Canada. BULLY DANCE is a non-verbal film with a strong message about bullies. In the film a community is disrupted when a bully victimizes a smaller member of the group. Eventually, the whole community becomes involved in dealing with the bully, who is himself a victim in his own house. Issues of peer pressure, accountability and imbalance of power are explored in a story that deals with a sensitive and pervasive problem. It has special resonance for schools in the US today. Visually arresting and supported by a substantial study guide, the film also features a unique soundtrack of percussion instruments composed by Judith Gruber-Stitzer.

Collective Wisdom, One of our Social Work faculty members is updating a resource guide directed towards parents on the topic of school bullying and has requested some materials that are not sensationalist or full of scare tactics. I have not seen Bully, but it appears to have received tons of press coming from Weinstein, with the film's initial R rating and associated in-school anti-bullying movement. The reviews I read have been mixed, with the greatest criticism being that the documentary is overly emotional and fails to consider the complex dynamics of school bullying, as well as backgound of the students featured. More than one critic appreciated the attempt, however, calling for additional documentary films to be made that provide greater balance to the issue. Does anyone know of other quality films that perhaps I might recommend? Again, the audience for this resource guide is parents, so some of the educational media you may recommend may not be accessible. Still, I will forward relevant suggestions to the faculty member.

Re: [Videolib] looking for films about diversity/inclusion BUT
If you are looking for diversity, Landmark Media has released a wonderful documentary that profiles the gay and transgender households in America today. *THIS IS FAMILY* shows several different scenarios and cultures and how alternative lifestyles have lead to acceptable and happy lives. There is an elementary, high school and university version of this production.
