At the age of 76, his message of caring continues to touch and motivate people of all ages. “The Tuman Effect” is the journey of one man to change our world.

Jim Tuman dedicated his life to protecting and encouraging young people around the world. His ground breaking work as a speaker in the 1980s changed the way students, parents and educators took on the issues of bullying and teen suicide. When Jim began demanding students to respect and love themselves and tell people in their lives that they matter, he was leading a new movement. Many schools were afraid to allow him to speak because the result was tears and raw emotion that poured from every audience.
This documentary traces his success through the eyes and stories of then-teens in the audience, and explores what makes Jim Tuman a unique individual who still connects with his audiences today. He is bold, caring and is likely the most unusual man you've ever met!
