Title: Win 'Bully' double passes - Cinema Nova - Melbourne Post by: culturebird on Thursday 23 August 2012, 12:13:39 pm BULLY (M)
(http://cinemanova.com.au/novacomp/bully_comp.jpg) Directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, Bully is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of America's bullying crisis. Bully follows five kids and families over the course of a school year. Stories include two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus. With an intimate glimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principals' offices, the film offers insight into the often cruel world of the lives of bullied children. During Bully’s season at Nova, we’ll be supporting the National Youth Mental Health Foundation “headspace” with collection tins. This vital service assists young people who encounter bullying, amongst many other services. For your chance to win a double pass to Bully, email win@cinemanova.com.au with “Bully” in the subject. |
