Yung Lean: In My Head 

A documentary from music journalist and filmmaker Henrik Burman in the vein of Avicii: True Stories (2017), which also depicted a Swedish talent who found success abroad but came to suffer from problems related to drugs and mental issues.

We follow Jonatan Leandoer Håstad who became a popular hiphop performer under the moniker of Yung Lean in the early 2010s but soon fell victim to a troubled lifestyle in the U.S.; when we meet him in this film he’s still recovering.

Depicting a music business unable to protect its young artists, it’s an interesting film, even if it takes quite some time before Yung Lean (not really well-known to a mainstream audience) is properly introduced.


2020-Sweden. 96 min. Color. Directed by Henrik Burman.
