The story of high school teens who are exploring identity and needing a safe way to do this. Since most kids are abusively homophobic, there is no freedom to even have discussions. So a few start up a Geography Club, so named because they don't think anyone else would ever attend. This is just the backdrop to the tension of identity explored by kids in various cliques. Interesting, but it keeps getting mixed up in my head with Sex Education, and while that series hasn't explicitly dealt with identity yet, it seems much more set up to do so well than this film. Even so, the writing here puts the teen's personal angst in full light, and exposes the pain that close-minded/abusive language/actions cause, so that alone makes it worthwhile.
