Donkey is a short film by Keir Burrows. It was made in year 2011. The main themes in the film are friendship, growing apart, bullying and wealth. In the beginning of the film, we hear about the friendship our main character, David, had with Stanley when they went to government school. Stanley could imitate any animal noise - the best he could do was a donkey - of this the nickname, Donkey. David and Stanley were best friends, but they grew apart, when Stanley moved away. They went to the same high school, but in different classes. At this time they had both changed. David was a very good-looking guy, so he was more than likely one of the popular in high school.

Our perceptions change with our evolving experiences, and in a dynamic and fast-changing world, the distinctively visual offers a unique insight into how we discover and form our identities. Ang Lee’s 2000 Chinese-American martial arts film ‘Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon’, explores many manifestations of the distinctly visual in shaping our perceptions and values through the prism of Confucian, Daoist and other philosophies and cultures. Likewise, Mark Osborne’s animated short film, visually targets a range of audiences, to also explore freedom of expression in the pursuit of happiness.

Lion, directed by Garth Davis, is a compelling interpretation of a remarkable true story of Saroo Brierley, lost as a child and reunited with his family 25 years later. Throughout Davis explores the unique circumstances under which Saroo is separated and reconnected with his family and his journey along the way. At some points of the film, I was confronted by how Saroo, a five-year-old boy, expertely navigates, with great instinct and genuine innocence, through an extended, yet life threatening ride.

I instantly fell in love with the connection and relationship between Saroo and his older brother

These children are likely to continue to be placed into In-School Detention or another alternative learning environment. To help prevent bullying, teachers and administrators must be aware of what is happening in the classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, and at recess.

Bullying has been named an “emerging public health issue requiring intervention” (Ansary, Elias, Greene, & Green, 2015, p. 27). As a major problem in schools around the world, the issue of bullying must be addressed in order to keep students physically and emotionally safe. The act of bullying not only affects the well-being of the person being targeted, but it also affects the rest of the school community too.
