Young Ahmed – Perth Festival

"A wise and sensitive contribution to a timely debate." - Time Out London

Until very recently Ahmed was happily playing video games, relaxed with himself at home and at the neighbourhood Mosque. Now, under the influence of an Imam who preaches an angry distortion of Islam, he has become radicalised, much to the alarm of the women in his life. Obsessed with
following a stringent and dangerous path, he reaches a radical point...taut as the finest thriller but infused with piercing social insight, this is one of the best from directing duo the Dardenne brothers (The Kid with the Bike).
