Director Lee Hirsch tackles the timely topic of bullying in this sensitive examination of an urgent crisis in American society. The film follows five students and their families over the course of one school year as their lives are affected in different ways by bullying. With new insight into the cruel, painful world of what it is like to be victimized, teachers, parents, administrators and the kids themselves look for solutions in the midst of their frustration, anger and despair. — AP
