Every mother struggles dropping their child off for their first day of school - but usually that’s elementary school, not high school. In Public Schooled, socially awkward Liam has been homeschooled his entire life. When he falls in love with a popular one-legged girl, he abandons his mother’s suffocating love and enrolls in public school.
In the clip below, we see Liam venturing out into his first taste of public school, but not before a tearful goodbye from his mother. As he dons his knit hat and begins walking those scary halls of high school, we can only imagine what he has in store for him.
Public Schooled, written and directed by Kyle Rideout, made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and stars Judy Greer, Daniel Doheny, Siobhan Williams, Russell Peters and Grace Park.
