La joven — called The Young One or White Trash in the United States, released as Island of Shame in the United Kingdom — is a 1960 film by the Spanish director Luis Buñuel. Produced in Mexico and shot in English with American actors, La Joven is Buñuel's second and last American film. The film deals with issues of racism and rape against a complex portrayal of two men, each of whom shows both good and evil. The film was entered into the 1960 Cannes Film Festival. The Young One is currently available in both Region 1 and Region 2 DVD editions after being out of distribution for many years.
