I’m sure quite a few Beliebers could give a long, extensive list of what they love about teen sensation Justin Bieber, and the Biebs has given folks another reason to love him.
Bieber has joined The Bully Project, lending his voice to a new featurette for the documentary “Bully.” The featurette features his song, “Born To Be Somebody.” You can check out the featurette at iTunes right now.
“Bully” is the documentary about several kids who are dealing with the very real problem of school bullying:
Over 13 million American kids will be bullied this year, making it the most common form of violence experienced by young people in the nation. The new documentary film BULLY, directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker Lee Hirsch, brings human scale to this startling statistic, offering an intimate, unflinching look at how bullying has touched five kids and their families.
BULLY is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of America’s bullying crisis. Filmed over the course of the 2009/2010 school year, BULLY opens a window onto the pained and often endangered lives of bullied kids, revealing a problem that transcends geographic, racial, ethnic and economic borders. It documents the responses of teachers and administrators to aggressive behaviors that defy “kids will be kids” clichés, and it captures a growing movement among parents and youths to change how bullying is handled in schools, in communities and in society as a whole.
“Bully” is playing in select theaters now; it will open nationwide April 13. You can buy your tickets through The Bully Project. You can also connect to the film through Facebook and Twitter.
