Hirsh follows the personal stories of three different teenagers, revealing their painful daily struggles with mental and physical abuse from their peers. These images are both disheartening and provocative, inspiring profound empathy for these characters and frustration toward a system that seems unwilling to help their plight. …the film carries an optimistic message: kids should rally together against bullying, stand up for themselves, and support each other" - Candace Opper of AAS
