Brash and visually striking, Godforsaken is a thriller about youth gone wrong. Two teenagers accidentally kill someone during a robbery and find themselves propelled into the world of the Turkish mafia. Based on the true story of a youthful gang of Dutch killers in the 90's, Godforsaken is tense, sensational, and visually striking from its first frame.
Editor's Note
Based on the actual case of the youthful "Venlo Gang," GODFORSAKEN (VAN GOD LOS) is a Dutch crime drama about a slow spiral into the irredeemable underworld. Stan is a disaffected teenager, bored at home and at school. The release of his friend Maikel from prison affords him an opportunity to add some excitement to his life. The pair plan on robbing a local drug-dealer, but the heist goes horribly wrong. Intrigued by the two youthful criminals, the local crime boss hires them for a series of increasingly violent jobs. But Maikel's uncontrollable temper and the increasing attraction between Stan and Maikel's girlfriend Anna spells disaster for them all. GODFORSAKEN was a smash hit in its native country, and won awards for Best Actor and Best Director at the Netherlands Film Festival.
