Synopsis:
Daniel Mitchell is the last person you'd expect to become a victim
of bullying a typical. 13 years-old and mad about space, 'The X
Files' and Pamela Anderson, he is bright, streetwise and capable of
looking after himself. But after he comes to the aid of a
victimised school-friend, Daniel becomes the target of systematic,
ruthless and destructive abuse. It starts as a personal battle
between Daniel and his teenage aggressors - but it soon becomes
clear that it's aided and abetted by the very people Daniel might
rely upon to help - the teachers. Walking on the Moon is a wake-up
call to parents, a sometimes disturbing look at the world our
children enter when we say goodbye to them at the school gates. It
is written by Martin Sadofski, author of Blood and Peaches and
produced and directed by Peter Kosminsky, the BAFTA award-winning
director of No Child of Mine.
