(AFP) When is it too late to save a radicalised Muslim teenager?
Two-time Cannes winners the Dardenne brothers said Tuesday their new film is a call not to give up on these “lost” youths.
“Young Ahmed,” which premiered at the world’s top film festival, tells the story of the son of a single mother who falls under the influence of an Islamist hate preacher.
Ahmed attends a public school where a dedicated teacher, a secular Muslim, tries to take him under her wing.
The imam sees her as a threat to Ahmed’s indoctrination and tells him she is an apostate, leading the boy to try to stab her in her home.
