Summary
Why are European children of immigrants like Amedy Coulibaly or the Kouachi brothers attacking their countries of birth? What leads them to reject the values of the nation which they grew up in and be reborn as extremists of Al Qaeda and the Islamic State? How does religion play in their decisions? FACES OF TERROR attempts to answer these questions, exploring the breaking points, existential problems, and fractures of identity marked throughout the lives of Amedy Coulibaly and the Kouachi brothers. Their stories shed insight to the journeys of those involved in the 2015 Paris attacks. Director Stephane Benture asks the people closest to them: family, teachers, and friends while examining archival documents to trace the paths of these renegades of French society
