The Killing Game
Description
The Killing Game describes the lure of ISIS and the radical Islamist movement: its religious beliefs, sophisticated propaganda and vast social media networks. It examines what draws young men and women to join violent social/political movements, and looks at the psychology of young men and women today and the propaganda used by all sides in the Middle East conflicts, as well as the
security laws and the political initiatives that have been designed to stop Canadians from being radicalized.
