Recently, many people would have become aware that I, along with fellow filmmaker Michael Kubler, have begun work on a short film project entitled Schoolyard Justice. Based on a story by Lachlan Cupit, this film will hopefully provoke some discussion in todays climate of violence and agression by our children towards others.<\/p>\n
Bullying in schools became a hot topic in 2007 when a Victorian pupil won a court settlement against the school he was victimized at. about two months before this story broke in the local media, Mick and I began working on Schoolyard Justice, as we felt it was relevant and important regardless. Both of us had been bullied at school to a certain point. And this was a story both of us felt compelled to tell, as it was a central theme in our developmental stages of life and one which we had managed to overcome. But some don’t.<\/p>\n
\u00a0By trying to give some small insight into violence at school, or just in general, perhaps we can provoke a reaction in people to not only think about bullying generally, but to evaluate how we as human beings have a responsibility to treat our fellow human beings with respect and dignity.<\/p>\n
