    2016     Drama    
    1h 45min
    Original lang: French, Arabic

    When 17-year-old Sonia is caught trying to leave France to join the jihad in Syria, her parents are forced to become her jailers. Meanwhile, Mélanie, a quiet, studious 15-year-old, makes a new friend on Facebook and is drawn into radical Islam. This alarming but necessary drama thoughtfully tackles a disturbing phenomenon in contemporary France: the radicalization of teenage girls by online predators. Writer-director Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar ably parallels the two young women's stories -- one in the process of being radicalized, the other on the painful road to recovery -- to reveal how jihadists prey on teenagers' personal insecurities and general sense of injustice to indoctrinate and recruit them.
