The Renegades – a long way home (2020)
Meral is looking for her baby brother Ferhat, a missing ISIS member. Oliver, a convicted terrorist, is trying to find his way back into western society. They are connected through one fateful photograph – can Oliver help Meral to find some answers?
The documentary deals with one of the most disturbing events in recent history, as more than 5.000 young people left Europe to join ISIS. How did we lose them, and how do we treat those who come back? A social drama about the allure of extremism, the question of guilt and the power of new beginnings.
This is a drop your mouth open film like you’ve never seen before!
