ISIS or IS, the so-called Islamic State - DAECH in Arabic - controls today a large territory that stretches over Syria and Iraq. ISIS is not just a terrorist movement, it has become something of an out-law state attracting militants and combatants from around the globe.
The jihadist start-up born in Iraq under American occupation became a global corporation of terror which succeeded in making Al Qaeda look outdated.

How did ISIS come to life? How to fight a structure that does no longer depend upon outside funding? An investigation by Jérôme Fritel and Stephan Villeneuve who spent a month in Iraq in Nov. 2014,to look into the financing and birth of this terrorist organization that disrupts the geopolitical balance of the region.
