This short film provides an excellent way to examine a topical subject that is not always easy to address: bullying. The teacher can ask students to think about the phenomenon, particularly in school settings. The film is a superb choice for in-class presentation, since it lifts the veil on a situation that transcends different social strata, and could very well lead some students to a valuable realization.
