A Universal Story
The director of the film, Sara Hirsh Bordo, stated it is not just about Lizzie’s story but is a universal story, for everybody who has been bullied. She explained, “Her experience of triumphing adversity and making it to the other side of a painful experience is universal,” she says.
“As soon as Lizzie became more open and honest – whether it was her TED talk or her YouTube videos – it was clear that people were thirsty for a story where somebody stands up and says I’m not going to be a victim, I’m going to make a change.”

Her Purpose
Lizzie stated in the film, “I knew this is my purpose”…
This is what I’m meant to do for the rest of my life, because I like to think that I’m not only telling my story—I’m telling everyone’s story.”
