Overview? When was it Underview?

The following is an overview of our film's plot. While the film will not be created in its entirety for this project, we will need to represent it through two trailers, so we saw it fit to complete an overview.
Seventeen-year-old Alma Rodriguez kills herself from bullying because she’s LGBT+ (particularly, a lesbian). Main character (MC), Eleanora Lee, finds out and is angered because she’s also LGBT+ (bisexual). While mourning, she decides Alma should not have died in vain and launches a campaign, similar to The Trevor Project, It Gets Better, or Silence Hurts. She’s met with obstacles such as being bullied herself, struggling with her school’s administration, her parents not being supportive, etc., but Nora (Eleanora’s nickname) perseveres. She contacts outside companies that fight violence against LGBT+ students/people and manages some small successes with her campaign. The film will never see a complete resolution because nobody can solve this problem so easily, but Nora will make progress.
P.S. For those not obsessively aware of Friends, the title of this post is a reference to one of Ross Geller's lines.
