Two disillusioned 15-year-old girls, Doe and Muna, make a pact to leave their troubled lives in the UK to embark on a life-changing journey to the Syrian border, after being influenced by propaganda on social media.
Though danger and uncertainty lie ahead, Doe and Muna are driven by their unwavering friendship and pursuit of freedom, purpose, and community.
Inspired by the real life accounts of young British Muslims who have joined ISIS, Nadia Fall’s utterly gripping and disturbing new film is a deeply humanising and daring coming-of-age road trip drama which sheds light on the complexities of girlhood, teenage rebellion, and radicalisation.
