[VdR'22] Following the same structure as in her previous documentary, the director interviews Daesh prisoners while showing the recovery of some Syrian territories after the jihadist occupation. There seems to be more fear of the consequences of their words than sincere regret, in a film that offers a first-person portrayal of fundamentalism. A dream paradise built from the manifestation of hell.
