A psychological descent into radicalisation as seen through the eyes of disillusioned, angry youth for whom terrorism becomes the only viable option.

A psychological descent into the minds of angry, disillusioned youth and the process of radicalisation leading to terrorism, told through first-hand accounts, cinema verité, and visual illustrations of hopes and fears. How does trauma embed itself in silence, how does extremism take root, and how can violence be seen as the only solution?
