A fourteen year-old boy named Christian arrives for his first day at a new school. His classmates sense there is something different about him, but no-one can explain why.

Tension mounts as the day progresses… and something has to give before the final bell.

User review:

‘Christian’ is a symbolic retelling of the greatest story ever told in a tough British secondary school. The film examines issues of religion, intolerance and bullying through the dark prism of playground politics.

It is designed to serve as a discussion starter for Religious Education and Citizenship lessons in secondary schools.
