Not sure why Amazon lists this as "The Bully
Project", but we are talking indeed about the documentary "Bully", whose
initial R rating by the MPAA Caused such an outcry (more on that
later).

"Bully" (90 min.) is the self-explanatory title of
this documentary, directed by Lee Hirsch (who he himself was a victim
of bullying when growing up, reason for wanting to make this film). The
movie basically follows 5 students in schools in Georgia, Iowa, Texas,
Mississippi and Oklahoma as they deal with bullying in an almost daily
basis, some with tragic results

There is a lot of footage from school buses, which
appears to be ground zero for bullying. I assume Hirsch was able to
mount some cameras in the bus unbeknowst to the kids. What we see is
sometimes shocking. In the case of 12 yr. old Alex, the bullying becomes
so violent that in the middle of the movie, we are informed that the
film producers were so concerned with Alex's safety that they decided to
share the school bus footage with Alex's parents and also with his
school principal.
