With unprecedented access we enter the prison camp Roj in Syria, which holds families of ISIS fighters. Among them, probably the most famous British recruit Shamima Begum, who fled London when she was just 15, and Hoda Muthana from USA who allegedly incited her followers on Twitter to support the Islamic State. Universally reviled by the media, they now tell their stories for the very first time.
