Shamima Begum and Hoda Muthana made it into headlines worldwide when they travelled from their countries – the UK and USA – as teenagers and joined ISIS. Now, they want to return to their homes. Sevinaz, a young Kurdish woman who has lost family to ISIS, invites the women to write letters to their former selves and tell their stories for the first time.
The Return: Life After ISIS will be followed by a live online Q&A with Alba Sotorra Clua which will be live-streamed from the cinema to Selects. This can also be watched below.
Join director Alba Sotorra Clua in The Return: Life After ISIS - Reframing the Narrative, presented as part of this year's Talks programme.
