The Islamic State group consumed the attention of the West for years. They were despised, feared, and by some, embraced. But who were they? Filmed in prisons and detention camps, this engrossing documentary turns the camera on men and women who committed their lives to the Islamic State, tracing its rise and fall through the personal experiences of those who lived through it.
In telling their personal stories, a narrative of the Islamic State emerges. We hear about the radical teachings that drew men and women to fight in Syria, the ins and outs of IS administration (the oil trade, meting out punishments, housing), and beliefs in everything from the incompatibility of Islam and democracy to detailed descriptions of heaven. Some of the interviewees remain fully committed to the idea of a caliphate, while others clearly hope to save their skin.
In avoiding easy answers, ROJEK creates a multi-faceted view of the Islamic State — its brutality, its theological underpinnings, and the sense of both belonging and betrayal it fostered. Interspersed with the interviews is footage of contemporary Syrian Kurdistan. It is a harsh environment in which an even harsher ideological quasi-state took hold.
“A deeply unsettling exploration of morality and terror.” —The Globe and Mail
“Rojek is a work of poetic inquisitiveness years-in-the-making. This absorbing and admirably even-handed documentary looks the beast in the eye to weigh the context, cost, and consequences of fundamentalism.” —POV Magazine
“Offers an insight into the seemingly impenetrable, monolith group and paints the extremist faction through its affiliates, who are – unlike their general perception by media and the public – distinguishable and diverse.” —Modern Times Review
“It’s a truly disturbing doc, illuminating a mindset that is difficult to comprehend but that must be understood if there is to ever be anything close to an attempt at peaceful coexistence.” —Awards Daily
“Highly recommended. This is one of DOC NYC’s most important films.” —Unseen Films
“An unexpected look at a far-reaching current political issue and a film whose subject matter and rhythm create an impressive cinematographic object.” —AV Club

00:09:14.250 --> 00:09:16.920
Do you speak English or you prefer to speak in Arabic?
42
00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:19.680
43
00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:22.350
What is when there\'s question I don\'t want to answer?
44
00:09:22.350 --> 00:09:23.790
45
00:09:23.790 --> 00:09:27.030
46
00:09:27.030 --> 00:09:28.980

00:09:32.400 --> 00:09:33.300
48
00:09:33.300 --> 00:09:36.840
I had quite everything what I want as a young guy.
49
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.130
I had money.
50
00:09:38.130 --> 00:09:41.880
I had everything what I want to have.
51
00:09:41.880 --> 00:09:43.710
But there was something still miss in my heart.
52
00:09:43.710 --> 00:09:45.600
There was some, there was no happiness in my heart.
53
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.750
So I was searching for the reality why I\'m not happy.
54
00:09:48.750 --> 00:09:51.480
And this, in my eyes, it was the reality
55
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.000
because I was not practicing my religion.
56
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:57.390
So when I started practicing my religion, I became happier.
57
00:09:57.390 --> 00:09:58.470
And this was this.
58
00:09:58.470 --> 00:10:00.870
This was the thing what was missed in my heart,
59
00:10:00.870 --> 00:10:01.703
the faith.
60
00:10:06.300 --> 00:10:08.500
61
00:10:11.549 --> 00:10:13.550
62
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:16.970
My heart is happy or not.

00:10:51.510 --> 00:10:52.343
70
00:10:52.343 --> 00:10:55.530
I was like assistant.
71
00:10:55.530 --> 00:10:56.910
72
00:10:56.910 --> 00:10:58.710
73
00:10:58.710 --> 00:11:02.367
You were a fighter in Abu Omar al-Baghdadi...
74
00:11:02.367 --> 00:11:03.200
75
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:04.033

00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:10.140
78
00:11:10.140 --> 00:11:12.720
for Abu Omar al-Baghdadi.
79
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:13.553
80
00:11:13.553 --> 00:11:16.050
81
00:11:16.050 --> 00:11:17.100
In German, I was in Germany.
82
00:11:17.100 --> 00:11:17.933
I was very young.
83
00:11:17.933 --> 00:11:20.100
I was 12 years old or 11 years old.
84
00:11:20.100 --> 00:11:22.980
I was a fan of a Canadian singer.
85
00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:24.230
His name is Shawn Desman.
86
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:28.170
Also I was in contact with him, you know, on MySpace
87
00:11:28.170 --> 00:11:31.563
in 2006, yes.
88
00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:35.250
So this was my idol when I was young,
89
00:11:35.250 --> 00:11:36.330
Shawn Desman.
90
00:11:36.330 --> 00:11:38.970
His real name is Shawn Bosco Fernandes.
91
00:11:38.970 --> 00:11:42.000
And he has a nice voice, you know,
92
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.160
And he has one song.
93
00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:46.950
I think I know all his songs.
94
00:11:46.950 --> 00:11:47.850
But he has one song,
95
00:11:47.850 --> 00:11:51.780
which until now, it\'s had,
96
00:11:51.780 --> 00:11:53.490
has an effect on me.
97
00:11:53.490 --> 00:11:55.770
And you want that I sing it?
98
00:11:55.770 --> 00:11:57.965
But I don\'t want that someone laughs.
99
00:11:57.965 --> 00:12:01.503

It was in 2016.
142
00:30:24.660 --> 00:30:26.733
He had a Yazidi slave.
143
00:30:28.620 --> 00:30:30.450
But he was treating her very well
144
00:30:30.450 --> 00:30:34.200
so that she decide in the end to accept the Islam.
145
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:35.853
After she accept the Islam,
146
00:30:36.840 --> 00:30:40.050
he told her to cover herself
147
00:30:40.050 --> 00:30:42.360
and come with me to the court.
148
00:30:42.360 --> 00:30:44.850
So she ask him, \"Why we\'re going to the court?\"
149
00:30:44.850 --> 00:30:47.070
He said, \"Because I want to give you the freedom,
150
00:30:47.070 --> 00:30:49.170
and you go, you can go wherever you want.\"
151
00:30:49.170 --> 00:30:51.270
And she said, \"No, I don\'t want to go anywhere.
152
00:30:51.270 --> 00:30:52.440
I want to stay by your side,
153
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:55.470
and I want to be that you become a husband.\"
154
00:30:55.470 --> 00:30:57.120
Because he was treating her very well,
155
00:30:57.120 --> 00:30:59.040
she fell in love with him,
156
00:30:59.040 --> 00:31:00.480
and she became a Muslim
157
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.210
and she started practicing the Islam,
158
00:31:03.210 --> 00:31:04.470
and she was very happy.
159
00:31:04.470 --> 00:31:06.720
She didn\'t want to go back even
160
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:10.290
till he got killed by a strike.
161
00:31:10.290 --> 00:31:12.933
So I don\'t know what happened after that to her.
162
00:31:15.360 --> 00:31:17.470
No, I don\'t have the view now
163
00:31:18.401 --> 00:31:21.390
to force them to be a slave or something like that.
164
00:31:21.390 --> 00:31:22.940

255
00:59:56.910 --> 00:59:58.890
And my wife, she said, \"There is no-
256
00:59:58.890 --> 01:00:00.357

261
01:00:09.180 --> 01:00:11.820
And sometime I control myself.
262
01:00:11.820 --> 01:00:13.113
Sometime I lose control.
263
01:00:15.321 --> 01:00:16.623
When I slap my child,
264
01:00:18.270 --> 01:00:19.300
what happen is
265
01:00:21.210 --> 01:00:23.943
it\'s inside I have a feeling of satisfaction.
266
01:00:25.350 --> 01:00:26.900
And I\'m afraid of that feeling.
267
01:00:28.320 --> 01:00:30.390
I say to myself, \"How can I be satisfied?
268
01:00:30.390 --> 01:00:32.217
I just hit my own child.\"
269
01:00:33.990 --> 01:00:38.430

01:00:38.430 --> 01:00:41.760
and it start my voice, with my own voice.
271
01:00:41.760 --> 01:00:44.250

and I want to be a good slave for him.
363
01:16:52.830 --> 01:16:55.890
And I\'m proud too that he choose me to be his slave.
364
01:16:55.890 --> 01:16:58.140

426
01:33:37.050 --> 01:33:37.950
I harmed one guy,
427
01:33:37.950 --> 01:33:40.290
but to be honest, I don\'t want to talk about it
428
01:33:40.290 --> 01:33:42.740
because I was...
429
01:33:43.710 --> 01:33:48.450
Like, I was forced to do this.
430
01:33:48.450 --> 01:33:50.730
And now I don\'t want to talk about it
431
01:33:50.730 --> 01:33:55.440
because I want to close this book, you know.
432
01:33:55.440 --> 01:33:59.040
And it\'s a very bad experience, which I made.
433
01:33:59.040 --> 01:34:01.470
And this was one of the reasons
434
01:34:01.470 --> 01:34:03.840
why I wanted to go out from ISIL.
435
01:34:03.840 --> 01:34:06.630
And I saw it because I saw it by my own, you know,
436
01:34:06.630 --> 01:34:10.020
that ISIL is not Islamic.
437
01:34:10.020 --> 01:34:12.210
Yes, and all, everything what I heard about them,
438
01:34:12.210 --> 01:34:14.910
it\'s what killed like...
439
01:34:14.910 --> 01:34:16.962
Yes, it wasn\'t real.
440
01:34:16.962 --> 01:34:18.795
