For Ahkeem is a 2017 documentary film directed by Landon Van Soest and Jeremy S. Levine.

The film centers on a North St. Louis-based teenager, Daje Shelton, and her experience in school and in her personal relationships.

The directors use Daje as a voice-over narrator in addition to filming her daily life.

[5] Peter Keough wrote for The Boston Globe, "Levine and Van Soest relate Daje’s story with an impressionistic intimacy, catching her in key moments, sometimes with diaristic voice-over narration.

"[2] David Ehrlich stated on IndieWire, "...the film effectively leverages the experience of its teenage heroine in order to illustrate that "bad kids" are a product of our failures, and not their own.
