In the wake of Mexico’s revolution, artists played a fundamental role in constructing a national identity centered on working people and were hailed for their contributions to modern art.

Bullying can occur at all ages and in all types of relationships: in the family, at school, at work, and even between countries. James Laurent is an intelligent young boy from Philadelphia who is bullied during his early years by kids and also by some adults.

In order to seek revenge for his past, Jamie sets a course of action to punish the people, the city, and the country that have betrayed him.
