Bad Boys

Susumu Hani's first feature was this gritty pseudo docudrama of juvenile delinquency based upon a collection of papers, 'Wings That Couldn't Fly', written by the inmates of a boy's prison. The film follows a young man who drifts into petty crime, is arrested, imprisoned, reformed and released. True stories of other inmates are interwoven into his experience to create a startling document of crime and punishment.
