A 6-part Docuseries to raise awareness + reverse damaging social trends
Statistics paint a shocking picture of social issues escalating in our society. The time is right to attempt to reverse damaging social trends that cost our country billions of dollars and impact millions of lives each year.
This six-part docuseries combines reenactments based on real life experiences of bullying with unscripted evaluations and thoughts by subject matter experts who unravel the causes and offer possible solutions and strategies available to resolve problems.
Each episode focuses on a different type of bullying and how the techniques continue and change at different life stages from early childhood to adulthood. We consider the neurological, psychological and social impacts of bullying.
We aim to encourage the audience to ask "What does this say about us as a society? What is our part in it and how can we do better?" and ultimately start conversations and change actions to build a kinder, more connected future community.
