DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
François Truffaut France

His debut 'The 400 Blows' is the definitive film about childhood escape and alienation, exploring a boy's desperate flight from an oppressive home and society.

 Hayao Miyazaki Japan

Films like 'Spirited Away' and 'Castle in the Sky' center on young protagonists fleeing their circumstances to discover independence and magic beyond their confined worlds.

 Joaquim Dos Santos United States

His films 'My Own Private Idaho' and 'Elephant' unflinchingly examine youth displacement, homelessness, and the tragic consequences of abandonment and alienation.
