The Way Out background

The Way Out

A group of over a hundred Canadians have left their homeland to fight in Syria, drawn by a combination of propaganda featuring disturbing images of war's destruction and suffering, as well as recruitment messages with a lighthearted tone, often accompanied by playful kittens and winking emojis.

Over 100 Canadians have been lured to join the war in Syria, enticed by propaganda and recruitment tactics, with one 19-year-old Montreal woman, Amina, being one of them. She left home in November 2014, only to regret her decision soon after arrival, realizing she'd made a terrible mistake.
