Bullied to Death is a 2016 Italian American film written and directed by Giovanni Coda, starring Tendal Mann. The film, shot in Italy and performed in English, was presented by the director and premiered during the 2016 edition of the Torino GLBT Film Festival. Bullied to Death is the second episode of the trilogy on gender based violence started by the director with the film Il Rosa Nudo.

Plot

The film is inspired by the true story of a fourteen years old American boy who committed suicide in the wake of a dramatic sequence of serious acts related to school bullying and cyberbullying. Bonded to this story are those of other young gays, lesbians and transgender teenagers victims of homophobic attacks, killed or induced to commit suicide in different parts of the world. On May 17, 2071, sixty years after the death of the protagonist and during the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, a group of artists gather together to create a commemorative performance that will last the whole day.
