Still from Blue Jean

A lesbian gym teacher grapples with homophobia in this defiant drama set in Thatcher's Britain.

1988. As the Thatcher government is days away from a decade in power, the spectre of Section 28, a law banning local authorities and schools from 'promoting homosexuality', looms large on the England's queer community. 

PE teacher Jean is caught between her public and private life when a new student at her school arrives in need of support that only she can provide.
