Syria: A Gangster Goes To War

Syria’s civil war has become a magnet for jihadis from all over the world. And while nations like Australia wrestle with the threat of those dangerously radicalised warriors returning home, Foreign Correspondent presents an extraordinarily intimate and confronting journey as a violent, criminal king-pin leaves his drug-running turf behind to head to Syria’s frontlines to fight a war he doesn’t really comprehend. This is a searing insight into the many different motivations inspiring foot-soldiers to Syria’s conflict and beyond, into the fold of the super-violent radicals of ISIS, wreaking terror in Iraq. Michael Brissenden narrates a Guardian Films production.
