Women of ISIL: Life Inside the Caliphate
Al JazeeraWomen who lived and worked under ISIL share their stories, revealing a regime both brutal and uncompromising. Filmmaker: Thomas Dandois Teachers, nurses, mothers, torturers – under the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group’s rule, women played crucial roles in the organisation, some as willing participants, others as coerced victims. by Anonymous, Raqqa Through a series of rare testimonies, women from Syria and Iraq share what everyday life was like under the armed group. FILMMAKER’S VIEW By Thomas Dandois Women of ISIL is the last chapter of a trilogy about life under the armed group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. In 2015, when I discovered that many men had deserted and were ready to share their testimonies of life and death under the armed group, I thought I would do this one film – ISIL Deserters Speak Out – and then move on to another subject.
