It tells the story of a woman who fled London at the age of 20, leaving behind her university studies and a wealthy family. In Syria, she took on the role of a wife and member of ISIS. For three years, she has been intensively and successfully recruiting followers in Europe through dozens of Twitter accounts. Sitting in front of the camera is a gentle, almost shy person, a mother of two whose motivation for her promotion of horrific terrorism remains shrouded in mystery.
