Talal Derki's homeland is in disarray. He travels back to uncover the complex web Jihadists from ISIS and al-Nusra have spun in response to the enemies of God. Following the family of one minesweeper for the al-Nusra front, the film has a disturbing yet enlightening effect. This father passes his core fanatical beliefs onto his three sons. They are a tightly knit family, but the father's teachings play out in more consequential ways than he might have imagined.
The eldest son, Osama, named after the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, is particularly disruptive among his schoolmates. The two younger sons are fostered to think violence for the sake of violence is acceptable because God willed it so. It is very tragic to witness the path these boys are led down only to become part of a war machine that may never succeed against more technologically advanced world superpowers. I highly recommend watching this documentary if you want to take a much deeper look into the Global War on Terrorism and how Islamist extremists are cultured.
When you start with children...the hate will go on forever. Very enlightening...the depths people will kill in the name of God.
RHETORIC: The Meaning of the formal Rhetorical jihadist teachings in which they pervert Islam to suit their own views!
1 often disapproving : language that is intended to influence people and that may not be honest or reasonable absolutist/activist/racist rhetoric angry rhetoric See More Examples 2 : the art or skill of speaking or writing formally and effectively especially as a way to persuade or influence people (especially with the use of the Internet and other widespread social media technology).
A completely unbiased story - it takes no sides whatsoever - that took 2 years to make. It exposes the day to day teachings, of hate and murder, of an idiot, lowlife and uneducated father to his sons. We are shown how the next generation of, twisted Jihadist rhetoric, chauvinistic and future barbaric murderers are brainwashed from an early age (younger than 2 to 3 years of age). The twisting of a way of faith that - with each generation of children - will one day become so distant from the real teachings of Allah that, Islam will be a split faith like Christianity; when it separated into Catholics and Protestants.
Its a must see for all - especially non Muslim - people of the world, in so much as it will give them some sort of understanding of how, and why, we are all suffering from this barbaric brutality mindset - of a group of twisted evil Jihad men and women; distorting the true teachings of Islam to benefit their own wants, needs and greed!

"Trying to hide my immense fear, I said goodbye to my wife and son." Going deep into a family of terrorists and directing a ducumentery itself is so shocking and fearful. A story of the intergenerational production of terrorist, the dust, the smog, the prayer, all of them just be told so calmly, but all have a great mania. Like the pure black smog rising in the end, the story is a long nightmare.
Islam had been compromised. Am afriad this war is never gonna be over.
