Cannes:  Belgium’s Dardenne brothers won the best director award at Cannes film festival Saturday for their story of a radicalised Muslim youth, Young Ahmed.

The pair are already Cannes legends with two Palme d’Or prizes under their belt, and Luc Dardenne said they wanted to show how a ‘young militant might develop his views’, paying tribute to young actor Idir Ben Addi for turning it into reality.
