The new mini-documentary film is entitled #GenerationChange.

The documentary follows the Haworth Music School Tour, which visits schools playing music and talking to young people about overcoming challenges in life.

Managing director of Haworth's Music Centre and Kiama Downs resident Glenn Haworth funded the 22-minute documentary, and features in it.

It contains interviews with students, behavioural therapists and psychologists.

It was directed by Flinders resident Daniel Cartwright.

Mr Haworth said the aim was to raise awareness of bullying today and the effect it is having on young people and their families.

"We found out some pretty crazy stats by doing this doco - that only 17 per cent who get bullied actually talk about it.

"So our goal is just to start the conversation."

The film also includes interviews with Kiama's Ness Love-Monk. Her 15-year-old, Courtney Love, took her own life in 2012, after about two years suffering depression, as well as online and face-to-face bullying.

"That's why there just seems to be more of a need to do this sort of thing," Mr Haworth said.

"Kids (are) taking their own lives because they were getting bullied, and a lot of it was cyber-bullying.

"It's pretty moving some parts of it, particularly with Ness Love-Monk's story, and what she's been through.

"But I'm left with a good feeling afterwards; we want people to leave with a good feeling and have a positive message at the end."

Mr Cartwright said the documentary was about six months in the making.

"It's special because I was bullied at school, so I think people need to feel what it's like being bullied," he said.

Mr Cartwright said he learnt about the psychological side of bullying during the process.

"Just to know how the mind works, how it triggers and stuff.

"I've screened it to a few people already. It's opened their eyes of how it can affect people.

"I think the main goal is to make people talk about it - parents and stuff to ask their kids questions, like 'how was school?'

"Also bullies to see it; 'look man, this is what we're doing to these kids. They could kill themselves because of us being rude to them'."

The documentary is being launched at Greater Union Cinemas Shellharbour on November 12, at 6.40pm for a 7pm start.

Tickets are $10 each, with all proceeds going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
