Going the extra mile to understand plight of disabled

My daughter and I recently watched the 2016 Japanese animated drama film, The Silent Voice. The story centres around Shoko Nishimiya, a deaf elementary school pupil who becomes the target of bullying by fellow pupil Shoya Ishida and his friends. When the bullying is discovered, Shoya is framed as the sole perpetrator, leading to he being ostracised and bullied as well. Years later, he sets himself on a path to redemption.
