On April 19 Olivier Toscer’s documentary, Djihad 2.0, premiered on the Grand écran series on LCP.
As the Islamic State continues to gain recruits, France is the first target of jihad. There is an estimated 1,500 young Frenchmen fighting in Syria and Iraq for the Islamic State.
Throughout the documentary Olivier Toscer attempts to understand how the Islamic States convinces recruits to leave their homes and join them. Additionally, what role does social media play in radicalization?
The screening was followed by a debate led by journalist Emilie Aubry. Olivier Toscer, joined by Sebastien Pietrasanta, socialist MP of Hauts-de-Seine and member of the surveillance committee of jihadist networks, and political scientist Abdelasiem El Digraoui, author of Al Quada par l’image, discussed what counter measures can be implemented.
