The aim of the DVD -- entitled Bully for You - is to raise awareness of disability hate crime. The main storyline centres on Ben, a young man with Down's syndrome, played by Sam Barnard, an actor with learning disabilities. His story, although fictional, is based on real events. Ben has been the target of verbal and physical abuse all his life.  He and his mum struggle to cope. Their home is terrorised. And things go from bad to worse as the film reaches its tragic climax.

Ben thinks it's just bullying. The authorities think it's just anti-social behaviour. But, as the film shows, it is much deeper than that: it is disability hate crime.

Interspersed with the main story are the real-life tragedies, presented by disabled volunteers from Derbyshire. As well as raising awareness, it's hoped the film will encourage more disabled people to come forward to police if they believe they are victims of disability hate crime -- perhaps the least recognised and reported of all forms of hate crime.

Voice UK Chief Executive, Kathryn Stone OBE said: "We're all extremely pleased with the DVD, and hope that it will encourage people to do more and to raise awareness of disability hate crime. We also hope this will help more people recognise if they are the victim of a disability hate crime and allow them the confidence to report it."
