Filmed, fly on the wall style, fighting, talking, laughing, being attacked by suicide bombs and sniper fire. We were with them until Raqqa was freed. And then followed them back home. Changed forever.
They are from all nationalities. They dwell in the mythology of the International Brigades of the Spanish Civil War. They chose to give up their comfortable lives and go fight ISIS in Syria. It’s where we met them. Every night, between July and October 2017, young men with no previous military experience pushed through the most dangerous streets of the world. They conquered Raqqa, block after block.
Screening with: Hell (El Infierno) & Oslo
