To be exciting and its exciting to hear that restoretive justice isnt just on the fringe, that whole School Districts are taking them on. Its going to be a process to do that because part of the antibullying movement is you go online, you see stomp out the bully, get the bully. Its important we all kind of take a stand on that. We all need to learn how to treat each other and change our behaviors. Thanks, becky, unfortunately that is in in terms of questions because i hate to be the person to stand between you and lunch.

Ugh, it just makes them crazy. And i find that so extraordinary because as a film maker, someone that watches a lot of scenes, theres a lot of, you know, stories will go through big effort to get that kind of response. You will see, like, someones house blown up and people are like, oh, or someones sexually assaulted and people are, like, eh. Yet this little moment is so incredibly stirring to our audience. And its that thing, that little thing that happens, you know, over and over in little ways that take away the dignity of students that everyone can relate to and its, in a way i always feel, its why i feel so bad ultimately for kim lockwood, who is the administrator in the film in this scene because, like, its not like shes done this like insanely awful thing. She just got it ron and rushed to judge and said shake hands and everything will be okay and didnt take into account the history of those two students and didnt put the pieces together that the boy that didnt want to shake han

Restoretive power that we want to be part of the change. Our organization just had a grant to partner with the department of justice to make films on exactly those kinds of things. Were going to be making a film on working with School Resource officers and how to work with students. We dont believe we should even call anyone a bully because once you get labeled it stays with you. Ive gotten letters saying theres a bully in my kids first grade. The statistics show that about a third of the kids are bullied and bully others. As one kid said, i wanted to man up and show i wasnt going to be bullied so i did it to anyone else. Breaking that cycle is going to be exciting and its exciting to hear that restoretive justice isnt just on the fringe, that whole School Districts are taking them on.

Film these little moments, like what ros said about things that come out of your mouth with your kids, you are, like, oh, no. These are the things, this is actually where the rubber meeting the road a little bit and its the hardest stuff. We screened in sioux city before anyone had seen the movie for all the administrators in the movie. Obviously weve been down a long road with this community and i will make a point thanking them for their courage in making this film, which is what you thought nobody would ever do, which is allow a camera to film for a year inside a building and film those interactions and those conversations.

I have rushed to judge. I have gotten it wrong i
