Local movie The Days has scenes of drug-taking and fights between delinquent youths wielding knives.

It has drawn an NC16 rating - no one below 16 can watch it - but its director and producer feel that those between 13 and 16 will benefit most from watching it.

'The film is a cautionary tale and it was made with that aim,' said producer Randy Ang, 29, of the movie, which carries a consumer advisory on its gangster theme.
