Wikipedia article
'Bullied to Death' is a 2016 Italian-American film written and directed by Giovanni Coda, starring Tendal Mann. The film, shot in Italy and performed in English, was presented by the director and premiered during the 2016 edition of the Torino GLBT Film Festival. 'Bullied to Death' is the second episode of the trilogy on gender based violence started by the director with the film Il Rosa Nudo.
Plot
The film is inspired by the true story of a fourteen-year-old American boy who died by suicide in the wake of a dramatic sequence of serious acts related to school bullying and cyberbullying. Bonded to this story are those of other young gay, lesbian, and transgender teenage victims of homophobic attacks, who have been killed or induced to commit suicide in different parts of the world. On May 17, 2071, sixty years after the death of the protagonist and during the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, a group of artists gather together to create a commemorative performance that will last the whole day.
