The documentary focuses on the fate of "children of Daesh"
This documentary focuses on the sad fate of the "children of Daesh", of the Islamic State, whether they are those who fought, because they were forcibly recruited, or those who were born to combatant parents.
Children stigmatized in Iraq since the end of the war against the Islamic State: they are notably deprived of identity papers or access to school, even if some try, somehow, to reintegrate.
