"Bully" Director in Paducah

The director of the controversial documentary “Bully” will be in Paducah Friday to screen his film at Maiden Alley Cinema. Director Lee Hirsch will be available for a meet and greet prior to the screening. Paducah won third place in a national contest to bring the movie to the city, behind two large metropolitan areas. Hirsh was impressed by the response from Paducah and agreed to come to the city at the request of local anti-bully activist Susan Guess of the “Guess Anti-Bully Fund.”
