The Student Body
Streaming video - 2017
This is a true underdog story of two brave girls who take a stand against bullying, government intrusion and hypocrisy while exploring the complex and controversial truths behind the childhood obesity debate.. Coined the "Fat Letters" by students, notification letters forced by lawmakers were sent to kids whose body mass did not fall within a narrowly acceptable range, essentially telling children -- even as young as kindergarteners -- that they're fat.. When a determined sixth-grader voices her protest against the letters, student journalist Bailey Webber is inspired to take up her fight. Convinced that her peers are being unfairly bullied by the government, Bailey's investigation turns into a battle of wills between he...rself and state lawmakers who support the law.
