'Ronan's Escape' - Short Film on Bullying [HD]

Winner of 9 international film awards, this stunning short film set in the rural wheat belt of Western Australia, provides a candid insight into the life of Ronan (David Lazzarus), a 14 yr old boy who's been bullied at school his whole life. This accurate & controversial portrayal of life for someone who has fallen victim to bullying and the repercussions which exist, is told by director A.J. Carter in a unique, visually exposition intensive format with very little use of dialogue.

Ronan's Escape presents arbitrary scenes rather than traditional storytelling techniques which provokes audience discussion and individual interpretation of the scenes while reflecting on their own personal experiences.

My heart dropped and I felt that bump in my throat when I saw him swaying in the wind.. So, so sad.. I always yell at my friends when they even laugh at someone..

[Bookalicious68]

To all the people who keep saying you want this to stop. THEN DO SOMETHING TO STOP IT!

Every time you see an idiot tormenting someone else tell them to fuck off!

Every time you see an idiot bullying someone else tell them to fuck off!

And then go to those people and tell them to start learning to stand up for themselves. Standing up to someone is learned, you're not born with it. And stand by them as long as you can.

Praying won't help if you don't do anything besides that.
