Video – Short film – “Are you okay?”
This bystander story is told through the perspective of a 15-year old girl, Raquelle, who witnesses her classmate being bullied. When doing the right thing transforms Raquelle from bystander to victim, she finds herself trapped in the same spiral. At an age when social acceptance weighs heavy and the stress of social media follows you home, Raquelle and her classmate learn that caring begins with reaching out and asking. “Are You Okay?” explores the impact that reaching out can have on someone in crisis.
