The largest Russian video platforms in the country have united as part of a social project to combat cyberbullying. VK Video granted the partners the rights to show the film "Bullying" so that viewers can watch it on the regular service: Okko, KION, Kinopoisk, PREMIER, START, Wink, SMOTRIM and Ivy.
The film is based on the history of the first criminal case in Russia related to cyberbullying. A 16-year-old girl and her family suffered online harassment for more than six months. The story ended with a precedent - for the first time in Russia a criminal sentence was given for cyber bullying and the organizer of the bullying was sentenced to 12 years in a maximum security colony.
The premiere will take place simultaneously on all platforms today, November 11, a day against cyberbullying. The joint screening will help draw attention to the problem of digital violence and tell this story to the widest possible audience.
