Two daughters ran away to join Islamic State. Years later, their family’s story is an Oscar nominee
A documentary about a Tunisian family and the radicalization of two teenage daughters who joined the Islamic State group is up for one of the most prestigious film awards in the world. “Four Daughters,” by filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania, is among the Academy Award nominees for best documentary feature. It's an intimate portrait of stormy family dynamics and reflections on loss and generational trauma. Off camera, the real-life nightmare is a shared experience among some other Tunisian families. They're living reminders of a complex legacy, unresolved issues and difficult questions persisting years later.
