LOS ANGELES (CBS/KCBS) -
A Michigan teenager is taking on Hollywood. She's trying to get the R rating lowered on a new documentary about bullying, so kids her age can see it in theatres.
Katy Butler, 17, organized an online drive to change the rating on Bully to PG-13.
Thursday, Butler planned to present the petition with more than 200,000 signatures to the Motion Picture Association of America, which assigns the ratings.
The MPAA said the documentary got the R rating because of offensive language.
The Weinstein Company, which is distributing the documentary, tried unsuccessfully to get the rating changed last month.
Bully hits theaters March 30.
