Sixteen was a good film that touched on many different harsh subjects like knife crime, gang violence and the effect of child soldiers. Juma (the protagonist) has a normal teen life however his past affects this as he used to be a child soldier in conga. Later his soldier past comes back and affects his life after he witnesses a stabbing. I thought this film had some very good and touching moments. I recommend this film as its interesting and a good watch.
