Set in Biskopsgården, one of Sweden’s most stigmatized urban areas, You Die When You’re Young is a powerful and deeply human documentary that follows the lives of three teenagers over four years. With rare intimacy and nuance, the film offers a raw and emotional portrayal of growing up in the shadow of social exclusion, gang violence, and systemic neglect. At the heart of the story are Elmedina, a gifted young singer struggling against family pressure and cultural expectations; Adam, a brilliant but restless teen whose hacking spirals into serious consequences; and Alex, a boy drawn into crime while trying to protect his younger sister. Guiding them is Filip, a youth center worker acting as mentor, friend, and lifeline. More than just a documentary, this is a vital and timely story about vulnerability, choices, and resilience in the face of a society that often looks the other way.

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.
