The Awakening

A boy and his friends bully and talk down to other students because of their race, religion, or country they are from. That night, he has nightmares about the Holocaust, people desperately trying to cross the border, and segregation 0 where he is suddenly the victim. He has a change of heart and apologizes to the kids he has bullied. It ends with a PSA.
