Wonderful Irish Anti-Bullying PSA
Written & Directed by Anna Rodgers & Aoife Kelleher. Produced by Zlata Filipovic. (via Sarah Forrester, thanks!)
This moving short was “created as part of BeLonG To Youth Services annual Stand Up! LGBT Awareness Weeks. The campaign promotes friendship amongst young people as a way to combat homophobic bullying. For more information on the campaign please visit BeLonGTo.org.”
Bravo, BeLonGTo. You’re doing it right!

Thank you so much for sharing, I’m full of so much warm fuzzies right now. :) It’s so nice to see things like this being produced and shown to kids.

Interesting fact – the producer is listed as Zlata Filipovic, the author of Zlata’s Diary (she’s been living in Ireland for years now)

OMG, Zlata!
I read Zlata’s diary WAY back in the day… in grade school.
Good eye, Heather!

This is so beautiful <3
reminded me a little of this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBuKuA9nHsw , though the message in this Irish anti bullying video is way clearer and more heart-warming

i was just thinking “this brought tears to my eyes” and then i opened the comments and read the exact same comment
this means i´m talented at saying exactly the same thing as other people or SUPERPSICHIC.
Anyway this video is awesome.
