This world. Britain's Jihadi brides
Description
Why are young women giving up the security of British citizenship, the love and support of their families and the comforts of Western living to become part of the Islamic State, the self-styled 'caliphate' fighting its way through Syria and Iraq? This World explores the stories of five separate disappearances - from 21-year-old Aqsa Mahmood, a student from Glasgow, to the Halane twins from Manchester who were just 17 when they left for Syria. Friends and family offer an insight into the minds of these women at the time of their disappearance, while footage and the testimony of those with first hand experience of the Jihadist group explain what the women's new lives are likely to be like.
