England, 1988 -- Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government is about to pass a law stigmatizing gays and lesbians, forcing Jean, a gym teacher, to live a double life. As pressure mounts from all sides, the arrival of a new girl at school catalyzes a crisis that will challenge Jean to her core.
SPECTRUM, Waterloo Region's Rainbow Community Space, is the local presenting sponsor for this film at the Princess.
"Blue Jean is a non-judgmental tale of self-acceptance, intergenerational solidarity and sapphic power." - Time Out
"A quiet drama that sizzles for its entire runtime, thoroughly dissecting the social forces that lead to needless conflict, both visible and invisible, in communities that deserve as much “normalcy” as anyone else." - ScullyVision
