Boys in the Trees (2016)

The film explores universal themes of friendship, guilt, and the psychological impact of past trauma during adolescence, focusing on individual emotional journeys and reconciliation rather than engaging with explicit political ideologies or systemic critiques.

The film features a predominantly traditional cast, consistent with its setting and genre, without intentional efforts to diversify roles based on race or gender. Its narrative centers on the personal journey of its protagonists, framing traditional identities neutrally or positively without explicit critique or central DEI themes.
