An inspiring tale about a pacifist teenager who killed a man who insulted his buddy and now has to flee an oppressive society that doesn´t understand his side. Erik Bergqvist is a young documentary filmmaker who is eager to tell the truth and create a martyr and a symbol out of his subject. The film is a satirical look at the documentary genre and how a narrative perspective and subjects can be used and misinterpreted for a larger goal. It´s a callback to the old swedish docudramas Stockholmsnatt and They Call Us Misfits about troubled teenage men in Stockholm.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
