Air date: Oct 31, 2020

Syrian film-maker Talal Derki returns to his homeland, where he gains the trust of a radical Islamist family, sharing their daily life for over two years. His award-winning film provides a very rare insight into what it means to grow up with a father whose only dream is to establish an Islamic caliphate, capturing the chilling moment when childhood dies and jihadism is born.
