This is definitely a “must watch” for families with kids this weekend. “Field of Vision” is the latest Family Movie Night presentation from Walmart and P&G, airing June 11th (this Saturday) at 8 pm ET/7 pm CT.  Starring Murphy Brown’s Faith Ford and a cast of multi-talented actors, Field of Vision addresses one of the most important topics we parents can talk to our kids about – bullying. Here’s the synopsis:

Through mysterious footage captured on an old malfunctioning video camera, Sinclair High School’s star quarterback, Tyler McFarland, learns that some of his teammates have been bullying Cory Walker, a troubled new transfer student. Aware that sharing this information with the coach might get his friends kicked off the team and ultimately cost the school the state championship, Tyler must choose what’s more important: winning or doing what’s right.

As these events unfold, the camera also reveals more surprising footage to Tyler’s kid sister Lucy… She learns that Cory has a secret past, unknown even to him. Now Lucy must convince her mom (Faith Ford, Murphy Brown) and family that the camera’s revealing insight is not a product of her imagination as she enlists their help to find the answers Cory so desperately needs. It’s a compelling and intriguing story that shows both the challenges and rewards of doing the right thing even when it’s tough to do.

I wasn’t able to attend the special online screening of Field of Vision attended by Faith Ford because I had Ryan’s 8th graduation, but I’ve read the cast bios and am impressed by the amount of talent in this movie. Every main actor has been on TV, in movies, on Broadway, in commercials, and almost all of them have either been nominated for or won some kind of award. Fans of shows like “House” and “Grey’s Anatomy” might recognize the actress playing Lucy, and Joe Adler who plays Cory was in Disney’s “Prom”.

Watching this movie as a family is such a great way to start conversations about bullying. Ask your kids what they would do if they saw a kid being bullied? Would they tell an adult even if it meant possibly losing a friendship? Don’t miss Field of Vision this Saturday night at 8/7c for a movie that looks entertaining as well as informative!
