014: Ruth Thomas-Suh - director of REJECT documentary / plus an interview with Steven Abatzidas
Episode description
Ruth Thomas-Suh Directed a documentary called REJECT. I saw it last year at a film festival and was instantly drawn to it and the idea of "Rejection" and how that affects kids and even adults. I kept in contact with Ruth and asked her on my podcast to further talk about making the movie and its challenges, what made her want to make it, her inspiration from her father who was a psycologist in a prison, how are kids are being affected, "bullicide" (bullying that leads to suicide) and a lot more. And I include a podcast with my childhood best friend, Steven, who was teased and bullied quite a bit for most of his childhood, how he dealt with it and where he is now. Its a pretty powerful and sometimes intense discussion, sprinled with lighter moments. Please leisten to my other podcasts and please help spread the word about Scratch the Surface. Thanks!
