SECOND HALF |
This documentary examines jihad rehab – efforts to reform rather than kill violent jihadis. For instance, the Saudis have converted a holiday camp outside Riyadh where al-Qaeda sympathizers receive art and religious therapy, as well as money to marry and settle down. Throughout, we hear the stories of people most affected by al-Qaeda and its jihad. |
