We Need To Do Something
Description: We Need to Do Something follows three high school students at a critical moment in their daily lives. The first student attempts to build his courage through vlogging on social media where he shares for the first time that he is gay. He follows that action by putting up a pride flag at school, which results in some judgemental online reactions from his peers. The second student is giving a presentation in front of her class when her anxiety derails her confidence. She stutters and struggles to remember the words of her presentation and feels defeated. She then discovers her peers have been making fun of her online. The third student is in the midst of a high-pressure test when he struggles to remember the correct answers to questions. His stress and panic are experienced strongly in his body. He feels humiliated when he finds out he, too, is experiencing bullying online. Throughout the film, we see speech bubbles with insults and demeaning language towards each student. These speech bubbles represent hurtful and harmful digital texts and comments each student has received about themselves. The comments from their peers influence their confidence and feelings of belonging. After these incidents of cyberbullying, the three dejected students encounter each other in the hallway. In sharing their experiences, they are motivated and inspired to do something to change their reality. These victims know they are not alone. They will take positive action.
