The Believers Are But Brothers

We live in a time where old orders are collapsing. From the post-colonial nation-states of the Middle East, to the EU and the American election. Through it all, tech-savvy and bloodthirsty groups like ISIS run through European drawn borderlines.

Amidst this, a generation of young men, find themselves burning with resentment; without the money, power and sex they think they deserve and this crisis of masculinity leads them on a journey into an online world of fantasy, violence and reality. Javaad Alipoor spent time exploring how ISIS and the alt-right radicalise online and tells the story through documentary, interactivity and fiction.
