2022-06-29 19:00 - 20:30 | Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre, 1 Duncombe Rd, Johannesburg, Gauteng, 2193, South Africa
“An unusual window into the psyche of bullying – one that teachers, parents and children need to see.”
It’s been 40 years since Bryan Schimmel and Clinton Fein matriculated from King David High School, Linksfield. Both have had successful and accomplished careers. FEAR/FREEDOM: A CONFRONTATION BETWEEN A BULLY AND HIS VICTIM – THEN AND NOW is a unique and hard-hitting presentation where Schimmel and Fein recount their school life experiences as both the bullied and the bully. And the powerful reconciliation that took place 35 years later. Unapologetically raw, brutally honest, and moving, FEAR/FREEDOM explores the intricate dynamics behind what drives bullying and its impact on the victims.
