A 2015 UK doco nominated for a BAFTA and won an Emmy.

An interesting documentary, as you say Hafiz.
It makes a kind of sense (identifying what triggered extremism) ....but it's dangerous to extrapolate the stories of so few (20 + years ago) to the many...

Yeah, but there are many good actors out there to replace them. :up
My Favourites at the moment are Chris Pratt, Ryan Reynolds and Robert Downey Jnr.
