Isis, Tomorrow traces the months of war through the voices of the children of militiamen trained to become suicide bombers, but also of their victims and those who fought them. Today, fighters’ descendants are children who bear the burden of having been educated to kill their neighbours and to make the ideology survive so that it can be reborn from the ashes of the fathers.

Isis, Tomorrow follows the destiny of the surviving families of the fighters in the complexity of the post-war period, a post-war time of marginalization and stigma, in which battle blood leaves room for daily revenge and retaliation, for violence as the only response to violence.

The future of Iraq is at stake with the destiny of these children - the children of the executioners - their salvation and the forgiveness that will be granted or denied to them by the children of the victims, and, at the same time, the future of a terrorist movement that might regenerate from the same roots that gave rise to it years ago.
