Tagged: The Jonathan Wamback Story

This is a great film about a teenager overcoming both his physical and emotional pain. Played by Tyler Hynes, the story is based on Jonathan Wamback being bullied by a gang of teens. You really should watch it.

I'm taking Civics&Careers this semester and every single movie in Civics has been horrible/boring...except one. The story of Jonathan touched me. We had to watch the movie then write at least a page of our opinion to the YoungOffendersAct (I believe the name of it was changed...according to a fellow student) and I found myself struggling not to write five. Because it was a Canadian movie I was actually pretty skeptical, but it's now become one of my favourite films. There were many scenes that I spent looking up at the ceiling (which by the way is kinda gross... I'd advise you not to look @ your school's ceiling, ever) trying not to cry in class. So basically, as a recap, I loved the movie

I wish there was a copy of this film somewhere. I remember watching this but have not seen it since it aired on TV. Anyone know where a copy could be found?

In this movie, Jonathan Wamback as played by Tyler Hynes is a true survivor. This movie teaches us about the issues of bullying and how bullying turns into serious violence. Jonathan Womback was almost beaten to death by 14 teenagers in Ontario. I think that this movie will be a good video to show Jr. High Students what bullying is like. When I first saw this movie I was amazed at how Jonathan Womback survived this dreadful beating. The movie maybe dramatized but I still cant imagine what Jonathan went through. I even went home and thought about how I bullied people. I hope that this movie will show people what bullying does and the amount of people it hurts. I hope that Jonathan Wamback will pull through his injuries and to be very strong. I recommend this movie to anyone that likes to watch movies that are based upon true stories.

I watched this on Monday night up here on CTV. I found that it was told just like it was, it was well acted and portrayed by all actors. The Make-up was the best ive seen in a while, especially in a TV Movie. I think that this movie would do go on the BIG screen. This movie wasnt even going to be made, unless changes were made, and they were and it came off great. I hope that Mr. Womback will get the YOA changed and hope that things get better for Johnathan.
