“The best documentaries have heart, passion and aim to change the world for the better. “We couldn’t be more proud to be releasing ‘A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story,'” said Chris McGurk, CEO and Chairman of Cinedigm. We’ve heard from so many people from all over the world who have been bullied in their own ways and we want to offer hope and show what’s possible when you get on other side of bullying,” Velasquez shared. “This movie shines a light on my personal journey, but we have always felt that this truly is EVERYONE’S story. The documentary follows Velasquez on her mentally and physically challenging journey, and leads up to her multi-million viewed TEDxAustinWomen talk, where she fully established herself as a motivational speaker and lobbyist for a federal anti-bullying bill.
