In a Heartbeat packs a powerful message. Bullying is global and it affects individuals and impacts society. The young actors, especially the lead actress along with the fantastic music excellently and dramatically convey the message that standing up to bullies is not only alright but the only thing we can do to end the terror, emotional damage, and pain they cause in their victim's lives. In the silence of words the emotions and feelings shouted loudly enhancing the level and degree at which I was able to emotionally connect with this film. Every school should use this short film to help kids talk about bullying. Thumbs up for the sensitivity and powerfully delivered message in In a Heartbeat.
