See, touch, listen, experience by Arts Council England Why Video is the Best Medium for Microlearning Let’s go back in time 5 years. It was 4 PM and I was bored, frustrated, and confused.

Nu har filmen släppts – och blivit en succé. – Det är häftigt att vibidragit till att det pratas så mycket mobbning. Det blev en massa media, jag satti TV4:s morgonsoffa, SVT:s morgonsoffa och det var både radio och tidningar som hörde av sig, säger filmmakaren Lennart Bång som själv mobbades som barn. När han var hos TV 4 fick han omdömet ”för djävla bra” och ”en stark film” av tv-journalisterna. Vallentuna Nyheter kan inte annat än hålla med – det är en hemskt tragisk och samtidigt upplyftande film. – Jag är väldigt nöjd med filmen, med helheten, talet och texten tillsammans med bild och musik.
