Teen Movie: A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story
Wednesday, January 27th 6pm
She was bullied all her life because of the way she looks. Unable to gain weight due to a rare condition, Lizzie Velasquez has been the target of countless taunts, among them a YouTube video that described her as 'The World's Ugliest Woman.' Rather than have her spirit crushed, she has overcome the ridicule and shares the story of her personal journey as a motivational speaker. Now Lizzie Velasquez leads the march against cyber bullies, taking her voice to the nation's capital to push for unprecedented anti-bullying legislature. Rated PG-13
