What makes a person willing to kill and die for their religion? What social, economic and political environments create the mindset of a Jihadist, especially an American one?Isa Abdullah Ali, aka Clevin Raphael Holt, is intriguing because he grew up in the ghettos of D.C. and was surrounded by physical and psychological violence from the very beginning. This documentary looks at what role violence and a lack of hope for the future play in the development of radicalism. The film reaches beyond easy labels to grasp the nuances behind one man’s decision to fight for his religion.
