Bully profiles five young Americans and their families who have been affected by bullying. Each story represents a different side of the bullying epidemic and captures a growing movement among parents and young people to change how bullying is addressed in schools and in communities.

Sundance and Emmy Award winning filmmaker Lee Hirsch documents the responses of teachers and administrators to aggressive behaviours that defy "kids will be kids" clichés, and captures a growing movement among parents and youths to change how bullying is handled in schools, in communities and in society as a whole.

headspace hopes the film will open people's eyes to the serious and destructive nature of bullying and how wide spread the impact can be as well as encouraging individuals to get help for issues with bullying before things get out of hand.
