About Project: Bullyish Film
Bullyish is a powerful exploration of the disturbing prevalence of online criminal harassment and stalking, taking audiences on a journey from the vulnerable struggles of a 15-year-old navigating the dangers of social media to the resilience and growth of a woman who has learned to navigate the world with strength and grace. This impactful project shines a light on the devastating consequences of harassment and crime, revealing how social media platforms often ignore the urgent crises occurring right under their noses, profiting each step of the way. It exposes the seedy underbelly of content farms that profit from spreading harmful misinformation and fueling the cycle of online harassment.
The film delves deep into the emotional toll that online harassment can take on individuals, showing how it can affect them not only during their teenage years but also well into adulthood. By following the contrasting experiences of two people, the film brings to light the lasting impact of criminal online harassment and how it can shape a person's self-esteem, relationships, and mental well-being for years to come.
As a woman grapples with the scars of their online torment from years ago, the other navigates the current landscape of online harassment and its constantly evolving tactics with racketeering, and deepfakes at play. Through these intertwined narratives, Bullyish sends a powerful message about the urgency of addressing and combating this widespread issue in our increasingly globalized world. It serves as a reminder that the effects of criminal harassment can be long-lasting and profound, underscoring the importance of fostering a safer and more empathetic online environment for all individuals, regardless of age or background.
