The Athena Cinema will bring the widely acclaimed documentary, "BULLY," to Athens on Oct. 1-4. A special panel discussion will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 2.

"School bullying has become a huge issue in our society and by hosting screenings and a panel discussion with members from the Ohio University faculty, Athens Community members and area educators, the Athena Cinema hopes to play an integral part in creating a discussion and raising awareness on the dangers of this issue," said Athena Cinema Managing Director Alexandra Kamody.

According to The Bully Project, more than 13 million American kids will be bullied this year, making it the most common form of violence experienced by young people in the nation. The new documentary film "BULLY," directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, brings human scale to this startling statistic, offering an intimate, unflinching look at how bullying has touched five kids and their families.

A special panel discussion will be held on Oct. 2 following the 4 p.m. screening of "BULLY." The panel will cover topics highlighted in the movie as they relate to their own organizations and personal experiences. The panel will end with audience questions. The panel moderator will be Christine Bhat and confirmed panelists at this time are Nancy Baur, Redina Dailey, Mara Giglio and Adam Safran.

Bhat is the 2012-2013 President of the Ohio Counseling Association (OCA) and an associate professor in counselor education. The OCA is the professional organization representing all licensed counselors, and those in graduate training to be counselors, in Ohio.

She is a representative of the Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) organization.

Dailey is a school counselor at Alexander Jr. High/High School in Albany, Ohio.

Giglio is the director of the Appalachian Peace and Justice Network (APJN) and a consultant for the Ohio Commission on Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management (OCDRCM). At APJN, she provides training on conflict resolution, peer mediation and bully and violence prevention as well as doing community organizing around social and economic justice issues.

Safran is a 29-year-old Athens resident who grew up in Athens and graduated from Ohio University with a degree in history. Adam has Asperger's Syndrome and will share some of his insights and experiences from school.
