Kidulthood is a 2006 British film about the life of several fifteen-year-olds in the deprived Ladbroke Grove/Latimer Road area of Inner West London, (an area better known for neighbouring Notting Hill, which in comparison is "the good side of the tracks"). It was directed by Menhaj Huda and written by Noel Clarke, who also appears in the film.
It has been compared to La Haine, A Clockwork Orange and Kids.
There are graphic scenes of drug use, violence, casual sex, and organised crime, hence the BBFC rated it 15.
