Longfellow Presents The Upstanders
A documentary about resilience and the power of peers to end bullying.
The Upstanders explores cyber-bullying, bullying amongst friends, families, co-workers and the brain science behind it all. It delves into the power of resilience, adaptability, community and belonging.
The film highlights new laws and well-established programs already reducing bullying in schools and communities. As with all of our films, we provide resources and tools with the hope that we can learn to make a positive difference together.
