Children trained by their father for jihad martyrs.
Talal Derki - the author of the award-winning "Return to Homs", spent over two years filming a family of Syrian Islamist associated with al-Qaeda, at risk of living. The resultant document shows a terrifying process of indoctrination of children, trained to give their lives in the "holy war" with the West. But the camera accompanies its heroes not only during spectacular training, disarming of duds or Russian raids. Despite the drastic theme and atmospheric atmosphere of the film, Derek is also able to capture moments of authentic closeness to his father and sons. He does not dehumanize his heroes: he tries to understand them.
