Why do some young Western muslims head overseas to fight jihad? This documentary, which won the mid-length prize at Hot Docs, examines the case of Somali-Scandinavians with an objectivity and nuance often completely absent in the tabloid press and government narratives. In the stories of a humble father desperate to extract his son from Al-Shabab and bring him home, and a young Somali-born Dane whose two close friends killed themselves in suicide attacks in Mogadishu, a complex web of causes emerges – and the subjects talk openly and frankly about religion, family, social isolation, and culture shock in an often-harrowing, highly enlightening film.
