What do status, disability, and uniqueness have in common? They all offer grounds to be bullied. When someone doesn't look the same as yourself, it's natural to be curious. However, there's a line between being curious and being aggressive and judgemental.  As a society, what are doing to educate and bring awareness to the bullying problem? How many more kids have to suffer because of someone else's trauma? 

 

This special episode of Street Talk TV was brought to you by The National Film and Video Foundation. “Enter the Frame” is a special mentorship programme that focuses on making filmmaking accessible to all and helping those with disabilities get their voices heard and seen on screen.

This film was produced by Street Talk.
