To this day
This film is from 2013 but it’s worth wathing over and over. Not only because it has some great animations, but it’s also got an important message:
“To This Day is a project based on a spoken word poem written by Shane Koyczan (shanekoyczan.com) called “To This Day”, to further explore the profound and lasting impact that bullying can have on an individual.”
