Black Crows (2017)
7/10
Worth a look

Warning: Spoilers
I imagine that all the events took place but not consecutively and in the same place. Very good for learning intermediate Arabic. I am not sure if any of the reviewers are from the Middle East - I am an English Christian. The Yazdis being buried alive in episode 2 gives the viewer an idea of what is to come. It is obviously propaganda, as the Daesh have no redeeming features, and have some rather damning little foibles. I guessed the leader of the Boys' Paradise Battlalion would show more than a passing interest into the welfare of the boys, and that there would be recycling of contraband in a seize-resell cycle. There are stock items and events - the doctor visiting the attacked hospital and instead of treating people is forced to witness their killing. Men are thrown off buildings and women stoned for sorcery, whilst by standers approvingly quote the goriest bits of the Quran.

(the parallel in western programs is the CIA dealing in heroin with the observation that this really did occur)

very well worth watching
