Councilman Jim Kenney hosted a screening of the film “Bully” March 28 at United Artists Riverview Plaza Stadium. The Lee Hirsch documentary, which examines bullying in American schools, received an “R” rating from the Motion Picture Association of America, causing a backlash from some anti-bullying advocates. The film, which opens in Philadelphia April 13, will be released unrated. The near-capacity crowd participated in a post-film discussion with Kenney (from left), Safe Schools Advocate Kelley Hodge, WPVI reporter Alicia Vitarelli, Hamels Foundation director of operations G-N Kang and state Sen. Anthony Williams. Photo: Scott Drake
