Of Fathers and Sons

An unflinching, intimate documentary that embeds itself within a radicalized family to examine indoctrination and childhood under extremism with moral complexity and restraint.

Talal Derki returns to his homeland where he gains the trust of a radical Islamist family, sharing their daily life for over two years. His camera focuses on Osama and his younger brother Ayman, providing an extremely rare insight into what it means to grow up in an Islamic Caliphate.
