In the chilling documentary ISIS: Rise of Terror, the genesis of a local militia, led by a former criminal, who evolves into the world's most dreaded terrorist organization, is meticulously explored. This self-declared state, capable of orchestrating and inciting deadly assaults globally, has unarguably reimagined warfare in the 21st century.
