From the Picture This! Entertainment "Coming of Age" Collection
This hard-hitting portrait of a group of teenage boys in Singapore was savaged by the local film censors and labeled "a threat to national security."
15 explores the adolescent world of street kids who live in a separate culture marked by complete addiction to videogame aesthetics. The brilliantly talented director Royston Tan and his moving film have found critical and public acclaim around the world.
