"The Principle" - A Teaching Film About Cyber-Bullying

"The Principle" - A Teaching Film About Cyber-Bullying A life-changing drama about the devastating plague of the digital age, cyber-bullying. Designed to inspire discussion and change among young adults.

The Principle is the second in the transformational “Films for Peace” series John and ONE Film Company are creating with PeaceNow.com, which is gathering one billion signatures to enact a UN Global Resolution that creates peace departments in governments worldwide. John is also Co-Founder of PeaceNow.com and all donations to help make The Principle are tax deductible through PeaceNow.com's 501 (c) (3) non-profit status.

Throughout history, bullying in all its forms - from schoolyard fights to catastrophic international wars - has destroyed millions of lives. Tragically, the global reach and 24-hour accessibility of today's Internet and social media platforms make cyber-bullying an even more serious problem than traditional bullying because it affects more people and is rapidly spreading. Cyber-bullying has now risen to dangerous levels among adolescents and teens and many are tormented on a regular basis. Often these victims are too ashamed to tell their parents or ask for help, and can develop psychological problems. Left unaddressed, some of the victims resort to su***de. Others become bullies themselves, and in their new role, create a new generation of bullies. One of the greatest ways to capture the attention and teach our world about bullying is through film. One healing film that goes viral can quickly impact more hearts and minds than one million classes on the same subject. After watching Admissions, John Viscount’s first “Film for Peace” that won 26 international awards, Global Activist & Academy Award® nominated actress, Sharon Stone, kindly asked him to write a modern parable that would address cyber-bullying. The script called The Principle is finished and Sharon has agreed to star in the film and lead the effort to get it introduced into school curricula around the world, along with an accompanying discussion guide. Academy Award® Nominee, James Cromwell, recently agreed to direct the film.
