—
With its record breaking opening weekend, the highly anticipated new series on Amazon has brought a message of accepting everyone for who they are. Directed by Jordan Fraser, an openly gay award winning director, the show is loosely based on real life experiences, he said, “I came out when I was just 16-years-old, and at the time I was really young to do so. And sadly, I faced a lot of bullying because of it, so it took a while for me to be okay with who I am… I wanted to bring the message of accepting everyone, because the world needs to see that we are all just human.”‘Back Stabber’ provides a powerful message of unconditional love and friendship, regardless of one’s background. The show touches on taboo subjects including; teen pregnancy, being a single parent, recovery from addiction, acceptance, adultery, bullying, embezzlement, and many other sensitive subjects in today’s society.
Individually, each of the storylines in ‘Back Stabber’ carry multiple messages. Two of the main characters, Sam and Isaiah, are faced with the challenges of coming out and being bullied, as well as being accepted by their family. Isaiah, eccentric and vibrate to say the least, lives in fear of telling his parents he’s gay, Jordan commented, “We based his back story on some of the real events my friends have gone through. I think the show will open people’s minds because the situations the characters are faced with are all based off of real life stories, so hopefully viewers will sympathize.”
Among other things, the show also incorporates cyber bullying, teen bullying and standing up for yourself, the openly gay director said, “We wrote the show making Isaiah and Sam the ‘cool kids’, hoping to show people that it’s okay to have gay friends, because we’re actually pretty cool. Also in the click of friends are testosterone driven straight men, and despite the drama that takes place throughout the season, they still stand up for the two gay guys when needed.”
At the June 23rd red carpet premiere for the new Amazon series, the event hosted raffles for high-end luxury items, which they donated to anti-bullying organizations. With celebrity teen ambassadors that take a stand against bullying, the event drove home its message of acceptance and love for everyone.
Following the recent tragic events in Orlando, the new Amazon series ‘Back Stabber’ has the potential to create a shift in today’s society, creating a positive impact on embracing everyone for who they are. With the new shows’ success, Back Stabber will hopefully start a positive movement with its messages of love and acceptance.
Season 1 of Back Stabber is now available on Amazon Video, and free with amazon prime.
