Mushy Asghar who was the star of Channel Four's Educating Yorkshire is featured in this anti-bullying film. Mushy himself was bullied due to his stammer and now addresses that in this film, together with other coping strategies to cope with bullying.
The film was 2 years in the making, with over 250 school children, actors, crew and other creative contributors working on Flower Boy for free to promote its anti-bullying message.
Though they are stand alone films there are several cross over characters between Flower Boy and the film The Goodbye Girl (by the same writer/director). The latter won 30 laurels and 10 awards at film festivals worldwide and enthused the cast and crew to make Flower Boy.
