'Young men in urban gangs are not as they're portrayed in Black'

Elke Van Hellemont from KU Leuven researched black urban youth gangs over several years and has learned a lot about them in the process. The world she knows is a lot different from the one that is portrayed in the movie 'Black'.

"Het is een groot probleem dat mensen stadsbendes deels kennen op basis van fictie en maar deels op basis van realiteit", zegt Van Hellemont.
