Fighting ISIS: Western Soliders' Stories Volunteering Helping Syria (Full Documentary)

- Inspired by the mythology of the International Brigades of the Spanish Civil War, over 300 foreign volunteers chose to give up their comfortable lives and go fight ISIS in Raqqa. We filmed them there, fly-on-the-wall style, fighting, talking, laughing, being attacked by suicide bombs and sniper fire. We were with them until Raqqa was freed. And then we followed them back home - changed forever.
Every night, between July and October 2017, young men with no previous military experience pushed through the most dangerous streets of the world. They conquered Raqqa, block after block. They met death and violence. And eventually, along with the Kurdish and Arab forces of the Syrian Democratic Forces, they liberated Raqqa and ended the reign of the most murderous cult of the XXI century. Some of them went back home. We were there when they told their story to their families.
“I gave my life to help the people of Northern Syria, to stop the terrorists, but my government is more interested in trying to charge me with terrorism instead”, complains former British Army soldier, Kevin. Josh, 22 from California, also finds the homecoming hard. “I miss Syria badly. War begot meaning to my life.” Made by acclaimed journalists Paul Moreira and Pedro Da Fonseca, this is the untold story of the young Westerners who left everything behind to fight ISIS.
This film was first released in 2019 by Paul Moreira and Pedro de Fonseca.

interesting perspective, thx for this upload!
If anyone can help, im looking for a similar documentary about 3 or 4 foreign YPG fighters. I beleieve it was a miniseries possibly on Vice or HBO possibly (for some reason even netflix/prime is in my head too ugh?)... This was years ago almost a decade possibly. Its super good and it actually shows the stories of when they come home too. I think a couple are american and a couple are other European nationionals. Anyways if this rings any bells or have any questions please let me know! I cant find it anywhere and it was AMAZING. it was this, but much longer and much more detail.
12:28 i think were missing something important. Who is shooting those white phosphorus flares up to light the night? Is that YPG or daesh? Or coalition??
Old video.. please put dates on videos
At the very beginning it says 2017. So you can assume it’s sometime around there.
While the world ignores this but will protest in 10 seconds if isreal is mentioned
People that have been through shit. Get it. If you ask why. You don’t get it.
Dude does NOT know how to clean his m16
Bet he knows how to clean your brains out of your head though
They should go home til they can
We have to come together, please!
anyone else notice how all these foreign fighters are lost in life and have no goal, so they go and fight, very stupid way to live.
How old the video is? 😂😂😂😂
If you choose to go into battle you have to expect life loses. What do you think you get yourself into, a game?😂😂😂😂
Your pfp is so tough
WHO WERE YOU FIGHTING WITH ? Syrian Free Army
Expired ?? KiA
War Syria is not ended
SEMPRE PRESENTI !
When Muslim truly follow Islamic teaching , they become radical.
If that would be true half the world would be dead.
@HassanainAlasady-ns2sh many don't know how to read Arabic and don't know what's written in Quran Hadid and in Sharia . And still these is that much mess .
@@taidelek9994 I’m Arabic and ik what’s written in each why am I not like them. We fought these idiots for years in Iraq it wasn’t USA who fought isis.
@@HassanainAlasady-ns2sh is it safe for americans right now
@@lukeknight1133 it’s safe for anyone but in general rn not really because of the us airstrikes on some militias so never know where they come but it’s safe from the Iraqis side
Its 2024. Why are we still fighting each other in wars .
Bruh, say it LOUD!!
Because all it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing
Should they sit down and talk with isis?
This video is about 2017 not 2024. Also their literally fighting isis
Nato
Ever thought about fighting for yourself? 😒
Thats why nobody will remember ur name
What arrogance to go to another’s land and think they can impose thier views on what’s right or wrong. This Islamophobe type documentary is why most nations hate western nato views. You all are the reason why nations formed bricks to counter lies coming from nato
Yes, it's pretty obvious. Really cringe to think these guys want us the believe they are "heroes" LOL
Weren't daesh made up of foreigners?
Only extremists hate. Most wish to live in peace, whatever their religion.
Criticizing Muslim extremism is not being a phobe any more than criticizing Israel makes you antisemitic.
A bunch of kids in the game with real guns....
There is none worthy of worship except Allah (swt) and Mohammad (saw) is His servant and Messenger.
Stop believing in a man-made scam.
Brainwashing is bad for you.
Believe in yourself ;)
There is none worthy of worship.
