Summary
How does terrorism begin? For Ali, Nasser and Hamza, three disaffected young Arab men living in a housing project on the outskirts of Lille, it begins with their meeting the charismatic, older Djamel, who manipulates their sense of ostracism and voicelessness until they are weapons to be used at his disposal.
