‘After Class’ Trailer: Justin Long Fails Miserably When Trying To Create A Safe Space

If you’ve been to a college campus over the past several years, you’ve likely heard the term “safe spaces” being used quite a bit. The term refers to areas that are said to be safe for students and people that aim to be accepted without fear of being ostracized or judged. And in the film, “After Class,” Justin Long is a professor that finds himself in a bad position after trying to establish one of these safe spaces.

As seen in the new trailer for “After Class,” a professor attempts to create a safe space in his classroom and begs a student to share an intimate detail about her life.
