Inside IS: 10 Days in the Islamic State

The documentary follows the German journalist Jürgen Todenhöfer. Todenhöfer travels into the area held by the Islamic State. He has been given ten days. He moves through the cities the group controls. He films daily life on the street. The group holds a view of the world built on an expectation of the end times. He talks with members of the organisation. He reports the view of the world they hold. The people he speaks to defend violence. He says the population lives in fear. He speaks of executions and of enslavement. Accounts of torture are raised as well. The documentary rests on what the journalist saw. The telling runs through his eyes. No independent confirmation sits inside the film. Jürgen Todenhöfer appears in the fifty one minute documentary. It is a German production Matias Basso finished in 2016.
