Petition gains more than 200,000 signatures as victims campaign against R rating of anti-bullying film
A petition launched by an American teenager aimed at overturning the recent decision by Us censors to hand a high-profile anti-bullying documentary a prohibitive rating has gained more than 200,000 signatures.
High-school student Katy Butler, herself a victim of bullying, began gathering signatures just one week ago in response to the Motion Picture Association of America's (MPAA) move to hand Lee Hirsch's film Bully an R rating, which means many of its target audience will not be able to see it. The film's distributor, Oscar-winning producer Harvey Weinstein, has also been vocal in his disapproval of the decision, threatening to boycott the MPAA's ratings process in protest.
Butler, from Ann Arbor, Michigan, is calling for the film to be given a PG rating, hand-delivering the signatures to the La office of the MPAA today. Launching her Change.
