Touching movie about young Muslim boy

" The Dardenne brothers have previously had success at the Cannes Festival with their films and now they are back with another thoughtful piece. ‘Young Ahmed’ is about the Belgian Muslim boy Ahmed, who becomes radicalized by an extremist imam. The brothers have previously made films about the difficult youth and their new film is a strong addition to their portfolio. In the lead as the 13-year-old Ahmed we find Idir Ben Addi in his first big feature film. The film has already won the Cannes Festivals award for best director, so let’s hope that it will reach Danish cinemas as well. "
