AFRICAN YOUTH
Tagline: A good deed is often not rewarded
Synopsis: Every immigrant parent’s nightmare: a son being led down the wrong path by people he’s hanging around with. 17 year-old Mohamed is the only child of Sekou, a traditional Muslim man, and Myriam, a westernized Muslim woman.
Having been in America longer than any member of his family, Sekou is well-aware of the dangers the American culture poses to a recently arrived African teenager. His warnings to Mohammed to stay out of trouble go unheeded, and Mohammed continues to hang around with 22 year-old “E”, a virtual black sheep and outcast.
Through E’s mentoring, Mohammed is well on his way to becoming a holy terror in the Harlem community they both reside in. Will Mohammed ever hear his father’s words and return to the path of righteousness, or will the youth be a tragic victim of a series of events he and E, unwittingly, set into motion?

I am Fatou's customer and she made me watch your movies. she not only our beautician but she is also a friend, a sister, somebody who always ready to sacrifice her own interests for others. I wish her the best for her new career. About your movies sister Vigil, i like African Youth better why ? because is more professionel i dont know if is the director or the actors. According to the comments above you have great actors but your last movie Manchester Bound is a fiasco, the actors need to take acting class, the story was confuse and we very tired of guesting happy end all the time. African Dilemma is very good and lot of people went thru it.
Big kiss
