The return of ISIS bride Suhayra Aden to New Zealand in August was surrounded by controversy.There were many questions around whether New Zealand should have let her in. Aden’s story is not unique, hundreds of other young Western women left to join ISIS but unlike Aden, they now find themselves in detention camps in Syria, unable to go home. Filmmaker Alba Sotorra was given unprecedented access to these women, and has turned it into a documentary, The Return: Life After ISIS. The film is playing as part of this year's New Zealand International Film Festival, which is underway now.Alba Sotorra joined Francesca Rudkin.LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
