Ahmed is a Muslim teenager living in a small Belgian town who, seemingly overnight, is radicalized by his Imam. Despite the desperate protestations of his single mother, he winds up hatching a murderous plot targeting his beloved teacher.
The Dardenne Brothers won the Best Director award at Cannes for this beautifully rendered character study, featuring an extraordinary performance from Idir Ben Addi. In line with their body of social realism, Young Ahmed is an empathetic look at the humanity behind a sensationalized subject.
