In 2015, French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy travelled to the front lines of ISIS, seeking first-hand understanding of the ongoing conflict. With unprecedented access and disarming immediacy, Lévy and a small team of cameramen journey across the 650 miles separating Iraqi Kurdistan from ISIS troops. The Kurdish fighters he encounters share unforgettable stories and show unfailing determination in their fight against jihadi fundamentalism. His journey offers an unprecedented view of a war that still rages, ten years on, and whose stakes are of global importance.

In Kurdish, Arabic, English and French with English subtitles.
