Seeking to separate fact from fiction, the multi award-winning
series returns to investigate the divisive story of Shamima
Begum. When three London school girls went missing in 2015, they
generated global headlines and the media storm that ensued
continues to this day. Back then, investigative journalist Josh
Baker was filming at a mosque in the girls’ neighbourhood as
their families came to seek help; their daughters were on the way
to Syria to join the Islamic State group. But it was too late,
and they disappeared inside the so-called caliphate. For four
years, their fate remained a mystery - with only occasional
glimpses and sometimes conflicting reports of what they were
doing with the terror group being made public. Only one of the
girls emerged from the ashes of the so called caliphate - Shamima
Begum.

The new series takes listeners inside Josh’s attempts to figure
out what really happened, unearthing new information about one of
the most talked about stories of our time. He travels from
Bethnal Green in East London to the depths of what was ISIS
controlled Syria as he challenges Shamima Begum and investigates
if the story she tells is true.
