Friday, May 10 from 7:00 p.m
Showing of “Bully”, a 2011 documentary film about the lives of
five U.S. students who face bullying on a daily basis, directed by Lee Hirsch,
at the Wesley Center in Minami Aoyama.
This film is highly relevant to Japan. In 2012 an anti-bullying
task force was created and the Japan education ministry announced plans to
conduct an emergency survey of all elementary, junior high and high schools in
Japan next month in an attempt to draw up appropriate prevention measures for
bullying and the terrible toll it takes including youth suicide. BULLY sparked
a national social action campaign called the Bully Project to stop bullying
that is transforming kids’ lives and changing a culture of bullying into one of
empathy and action. Their goal is to reach 1 million kids or more, causing a
tipping point that ends bullying in America. Japan deserves no less.
Following the screening of the film, a discussion on the film will
be moderated by TELL Counseling Center psychotherapist Vicky Skorji and TELL
intern Mica Henderson.
There is a suggested donation of ¥1,000. Please RSVP to admin@telljp.com
