Why It's FilmBuff
Scandal stories come and go, but The Green takes a classic scandal story and adds extra complexity by making its lead everyman a suburban gay teacher. This is a fantastic example of authentic characters who want what everyone else in the world wants – to live peacefully and be accepted in their communities. The message behind the film elevates this familiar theme to an extremely poignant level that will resonate with a variety of audiences.
