The British woman Tooba Gondal is said to have recruited many Western women via social media to marry fighters of the terrorist militia “Islamic State.” But when ISIS lost ground she disappeared from view. Two years later filmmaker Benedetta Argentieri found her in a Kurdish-controlled camp in Syria – and Gondal agreed to an interview. Has this young woman simply fallen in love with the wrong man and is a victim of a patriarchal system, or is she a fanatic and brutal jihadist? The truth is more complex than that.
