BULLY [2011]

Film-maker Lee Hirsh's documentary Bully is probably one of the most heartbreaking, infuriating and disturbing films I've seen in quite sometime.  
It follows several families who've all encountered bullying in one form or another, some who've lost their children due to suicide and others in prison.  There's absolutely no narration and instead the film lets the subjects speak for themselves making for an intimate experience.  It's an important subject in this day and age but still doesn't seem to get across to as many people as it should.  Hopefully the film-makers and studios will figure out the best way to distribute this film is to make it free online viewing and classrooms.
