Det svider i hjärtat (Aching Heart) is a Swedish documentary that provides a glimpse into the world of young European Muslims who dedicate themselves to jihad, or holy war.[1] It was nominated by the Swedish Film Institute for the 2007 Guldbagge Awards in the category of 'Best Documentary'.[2]

The film includes the story of "two young Swedes with immigrant backgrounds - one from Ostermalm, one of Stockholm's poshest neighborhoods, and one from Kvanum, a tiny town in central Sweden - who left their homes in the 1990s to seek martyrdom in the wars of Chechnya and Bosnia and Herzegovina."[1]

Oscar Hedin, the director and writer of the film received support from academics who have studied the phenomenon of Islamic radicalisation.[1]
