The Instigator

  • 2007
  • 48m
YOUR RATING
The Instigator is a short film which explores many universal themes people of all ages, especially students might experience. It is a heartfelt effort with the purpose in mind to educate about the harmful effects of bullying and cyber bullying. Based on true events, Mark's journey is one of many painful experiences. Despite encouragement from some of his friends, he battles low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, and continually endures indignant humiliation and cyber bullying. Like many tormented youngsters he dreads having to go to school every day, fearing the inevitable, and unfortunately in this case, deadly consequences.
