Bully
This one's close to me. Hell, it's about me, and about a goodly number of my friends as well.
There's a documentary film called "Bully" that's about - well, exactly that: bullying in America. The MPAA, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to give it an "R" rating.
This means that it will not be able to be shown in schools, which is arguably where it needs to be seen the most.
I would like to strongly urge people to read up on this, and to consider signing the petition calling for the MPAA to reverse its decision.
This film is not something our children should be "protected" from; what happens in it is.
