Kidulthood (2006)

A hard-hitting drama set in the suburbs of west London, exploring what daily life is like for a small number of teenagers in mid-2000s era Britian, most of whom are approximately fifteen-years-old. Many folks, especially parents, will be offended or even outraged by the use of language, violence, drugs and sex in the film, but that doesn't mean it isn't an accurate reflection of what's actually happening on the streets outside their front door.
The activities and friends are spread out over a small area and a few short days, culminating in the kind of unsupervised party that rarely goes off without a hitch. For at least two of the youths it's a build-up and event that's nothing short of life-changing in the most unforgettable ways.
