Directed by Sundance Award–winning filmmaker Lee Hirsch, The Bully Project (2011) stands as one of the first feature-length documentaries to explore bullying from multiple perspectives. The film follows five young people and their families throughout a school year, offering an unfiltered view into their daily experiences and the challenges they face. By highlighting the stories of victims, bystanders, educators, and even those who engage in bullying behavior, the documentary presents a balanced, deeply human perspective that fosters empathy and understanding. It also addresses the heartbreaking consequences that bullying can have, including its connection to mental health struggles and tragic outcomes, while emphasizing the importance of early intervention and supportive communities.
Ideal for classroom settings, staff development, youth groups, and family viewing, this educational DVD serves as a catalyst for honest conversations that might otherwise feel difficult to begin. The included study guide and discussion prompts help transform what viewers see on screen into actionable steps for prevention and response. Facilitators can use the material to lead discussions on empathy, accountability, digital citizenship, and conflict resolution, making it easier to turn awareness into meaningful change.
Designed for classroom use, staff trainings and family viewing, this DVD pairs well with facilitated discussions, role-playing exercises and prevention planning. The educational release includes a study guide and discussion prompts used by schools and community groups to translate the film's stories into concrete steps for intervention, empathy-building and safer school climates.
Although originally released in 2011, the documentary’s themes remain highly relevant in today’s digital world, where cyberbullying and social media pressures continue to impact student well-being. By combining storytelling with practical guidance, this anti-bullying educational DVD helps communities, families, and schools create more compassionate, informed approaches to prevention and support.
