Hi all, I just tried to view this video but it has been removed.  Is there another link by chance?

We are also using a "What Would You Do" clip for our bystander intervention curriculum.  We considered the WWYD video that Shari sent (scenario in which the guy puts a drug in his date's drink when she goes to the restroom.)  But ultimately we chose this one (scenario in which a woman is clearly intoxicated and a guy she meets at the bar tries to take her home):

Thanks for sharing these! I'm always interested to see what types of bystander engagement examples folks use in their work. 

 

Just wanted to add something to the "snackman" clip - the original recording (which can also be found on youtube) illustrates three different (and effective) modes of bystander intervention. First, there is the man who pulled out his phone to record the scene. He announces to the follower that he's recording and that this will go to police if anything happens or if he doesn't stop following this woman. The second example comes from the woman who confronts the man head-on stating that he "needs to get off at the next stop" and that he "WILL leave her alone". The third example comes from "snackman" himself who physically inserts himself between the two people while continuing to snack on his chips, seemingly unaware that there is any sort of high-stress situation that he's walked into/diffused. 

 

 

While the news-reel clip is entertaining and enough of an edgy conversation starter alone, it might be helpful for audiences to see/hear what the spectrum of bystander intervention can look like and discuss how each of these tactics are vastly different and yet effective in unique ways. This also might help folks understand where they fit along the spectrum of active bystander behavior and can possibly lead to discussions around personal comfort-level with regards to modes of intervention - my guess is that processing such a conversation gives people the opportunity to understand what type of bystander behavior they feel compelled to exhibit (empowering them to act) and what their personal limitations may be (i.e. "I feel comfortable accidentally spilling a drink but I don't feel comfortable confronting an aggressor in an intentional, direct way"). 

 

Anyways, just thought that this might be a useful addition to the snackman clip. Thanks again for sending these along!

I have used the following clips in Bystander Intervention presentations.  The “Snack Man” clip just shows an example of thinking and acting outside of the box.  We then discuss the pros and cons of taking this kind of risk.

 

The clip from “What Would You Do” always gets a great conversation going – I will start and stop the clip and ask students what they would do at various points in the scenario.  We also analyze the reactions of the various bystanders in the bar.

 

 

Hope these help or at least give you some ideas!

Hello everyone,

We are working on a multi-media piece we use as a part of orientation. I was wondering if anyone knows of any examples of bystander intervention scenes in popular/current films?
