Wissenswertes
Rachel Whelan got the idea for Battle Scars around 2013, when several cases of online bullying came to light. There was a website which was linked to a number of teenage girl's suicides in Ireland and abroad. Upon learning of these stories, Rachel wanted to, in a sense, re-write the endings of these girl's stories. Girls who would have been able to see that the bullies weren't worth a pinch of salt in the long run. They were merely people who weren't even going to matter in a few years. Rachel based her characters on the common reactions she had noticed when the subject of suicide was raised with family and friends; the Father who wants to carry on as normal, the Mother who feels she hadn't done enough before the suicide attempt and is trying to make amends and the Brother who considers his sister to be selfish for what she did.

A Stirring Ode to the Fight Against Bullying

Battle Scars, is a timeless and deeply moving exploration of the emotional and physical toll of bullying.

At its core, Battle Scars is an unflinching portrayal of the impact of bullying on a young individual. The narrative follows a protagonist whose life is marred by relentless torment.

The film's approach to storytelling is striking in its simplicity but profound in its execution. It avoids melodrama and instead opts for an honest, unvarnished depiction of suffering, resilience, and eventual healing.

The opening scenes immediately pull the audience into the world of the protagonist, with skillfully crafted shots that capture a sense of isolation.

The cinematography, though understated, is effective in conveying the bleakness of the protagonist's circumstances. The cold, muted colour palette worked well and was emotive.
