Description
Summary:A report on the current state of the war on ISIS (ISIL/Daesh) and the city of Raqqa, Syria, which continues to rebuild since the terrorist group lost control of it last year. With the aid of U.S. weapons and training, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDP), a civilian militia consisting of mostly Kurds and many women, has taken back a third of the country. While they protect U.S. forces, and keep the world safe from potentially dangerous extremists by holding ISIS detainees, the city struggles in a state of uncertainty, lacking civilian aid. Includes interviews with: Leila Mustafa, head of civilian counsel of Raqqa; General Mazlum Kobane, SDP leader; Senators Jean Shaheen (D-NH) and Lindsay Graham (R-SC ); Adrien Guihal, ISIS detainee.
