DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Cristian Mungiu Romania

His film '4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days' and other works unflinchingly examine systemic institutional failure and moral corruption affecting vulnerable youth in oppressive systems.

 Ken Loach United Kingdom

His social realist films like 'Kes' and 'Sweet Sixteen' compassionately explore how poverty and institutional systems push working-class youth toward detention and criminalization.
