ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, has established itself as the new brand of international jihad. How did it come to life? How is it financed? And how does one fight a structure that no longer depends on outside funding?
In November 2014, Jérôme Fritel and Stephan Villeneuve spent a month in Iraq. They investigated how this terrorist organization started and was funded. For security reasons, they did not enter territories controlled by ISIS. They investigated along border regions in Iraq, Kurdistan, and Turkey. In addition, they investigated in Baghdad, where it all began.
The result? Their award-winning documentary film from Point du Jour International is ISIS, Birth of a Terrorist State.
It tells the story of how Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and ISIS rose to power. It explains the significance of its proclamation of a caliphate and its control of vast territories and resources. Furthermore, the documentary shows how ISIS links local Sunni grievances with global jihadist ambitions. It also examines the future of the war between ISIS and its enemies.
