Powerful Movie But I Had NO SYMPATHY For The Mother.
11 March 2020 | by redrobin62-321-207311 – See all my reviews

I gave this film a "6" anyway because of what was presented onscreen - a raw, unflinching look into how ISIS operates in Raqqa. Unfortunately, I had NO sympathy for the mother who traveled from France with her five year old son to Raqqa "to help" ISIS. Where the hell did she think she was going? Shangri La? Xanadu? Margaritaville? Has she NEVER seen the news about ISIS or was she too busy watching French soap operas? In the end, you feel no sympathy for the husband either because he married an idiot who converted to Islam to to help ISIS and now he wants the Western World to help him. Screw him and his wife. I only felt bad for the kid. ISIS can go to hell and so can his stupid wife.
