Drugged Youth

About This Movie

Drugged Youth, directed by José Truchado, is a gritty dive into the underbelly of drug trafficking during the 70s. The film has this raw, almost claustrophobic atmosphere that highlights the desperation of its characters. It’s not just about the crime; it delves into the psychological manipulations within the gang and the conflict of the kidnapped young man, who's drawn to one of the gang's women. The pacing keeps you on edge, with moments of tension punctuated by quieter, more introspective scenes that really flesh out the characters. There are some practical effects that, while not overly flashy, serve the narrative well. It’s a distinctive take on youth and corruption, with performances that feel authentically troubled.
