Joe Bell
— The (true) story of a father from Oregon who sets off to walk to New York City to speak out against bullying, His son, Jadin, committed suicide after a life of bullying for being gay. The film works well, mostly because of good intentions and decent enough directing and acting. It also knows how to tug at the heartstrings and, hopefully, help make people aware of the real consequences of bullying. [Amazon Prime streaming.]

[2020. 94 min. Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green. Starring Mark Wahlberg, Reid Miller, and Connie Britton.]
