What is Of Fathers and Sons about? Toggle content

Of Fathers and Sons is a documentary that offers a rare and intimate look into the lives of two brothers, Osama and Ayman, who are growing up in a radical Islamist family in Syria. The film, directed by Talal Derki, follows the boys' daily lives over the course of two years, providing a unique insight into what it means to be raised in an Islamic Caliphate. The film chronicles their father, Abu Osama's, efforts to raise them as "Gotteskindern" (children of God) and his commitment to his belief that the ongoing war will lead to an apocalyptic Third World War between a revived Caliphate and the Christian world. The documentary offers a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the impact of war and extremism on children and families, and raises important questions about the future of Syria and the wider world.
