"The Upstanders is unsettling and uplifting, causing us all to examine our behavior, inspiring us to do better, be better, and stand up against victimization and cyber-bullying. The third installment in the award-winning Mental Health Trilogy, The Upstanders delves deep into cyber-bullying, showing the perspectives of those who bully, their victims, and the trauma of the bystander. Woven through this film is the very personal, first-hand account of a family’s tragic loss that inspired new legislation to turn the tide against this very real epidemic. As with all of the films in the trilogy, true stories are featured alongside the latest scientific and medical research, along with strategies to empower all communities to stand-up against bullying."
