Aching Heart ( Swedish: Det svider i hjärtat; lit. 'It hurts in the heart') is a Swedish documentary film about the world of young European Muslims who dedicate themselves to jihad, or holy war. [1] It was nominated by the Swedish Film Institute for the 43rd Guldbagge Awards in the category of Best Documentary Feature. [2]
The film includes the story of "two young Swedes with immigrant backgrounds - one from Ostermalm, one of Stockholm's poshest neighborhoods, and one from Kvanum, a tiny town in central Sweden - who left their homes in the 1990s to seek martyrdom in the wars of Chechnya and Bosnia and Herzegovina." [1]
Oscar Hedin, the director and writer of the film received support from academics who have studied the phenomenon of Islamic radicalisation. [1]
