Bullies Called Him Pork Chop.
He Took That Pain With Him And
Then Cooked It Into This.
This spoken word poem by Shane Koyczan, who was bullied as a child, was animated by a collaborative volunteer effort—the To This Day Project. Animators and motion artists each brought their own unique style to 20 second segments. The poem is beautiful, with an great anti-bullying/we shall overcome message, and the artistry of the video with so many unique styles is so highly creative that it makes my heart sing as I watch it. You may have already seen someone share this on Facebook, but in case you haven’t—you have to check it out! You can watch it here. This is a great example of using art to elevate a good message to something great!
“My experiences with violence in schools still echo
throughout my life but standing to face the problem
has helped me in immeasurable ways.”
Shane Koyczan
