- Synopsis:
The documentary film, "Reject" takes an in-depth look at the science of social rejection, with a solution-oriented focus on the roots of bullying behavior and violent behavior against the self or others. The film includes commentary from experts in psychology, education, medicine, neuroscience, and juvenile justice who have studied "rejection" in their respective fields. "Reject" also includes two personal stories woven throughout the film that take profoundly different paths. From school bullying to racial bias to parental neglect, the film sheds new light on the universal experience of rejection, revealing a link between social rejection and the neurological experience of physical pain. In doing so, it uncovers a path towards violence prevention and emotional recovery. - Directors:
